Multicast VLAN registration

IGMP and MLD snooping help to limit multicast traffic when member ports are in the
same VLAN. However, when ports belong to different VLANs, a copy of the multicast
stream is sent to each VLAN with member ports in the multicast group. Multicast VLAN
registration (MVR) eliminates the need to duplicate the multicast traffic when multicast
group member ports belong to different VLANs.

MVR uses a dedicated multicast VLAN to forward multicast traffic over the L2 network.
You can configure one multicast source VLAN (MVLAN) only on the switch. Such an
MVLAN is used only for certain multicast traffic, such as traffic from an IPTV application,
to prevent duplication of multicast streams for clients in different VLANs. Clients can
dynamically join or leave the MVLAN without interfering with their membership in other
VLANs.

MVR, like IGMP and MLD snooping, allows a Layer 2 switch to listen to IGMP and MLD
messages to learn about multicast group membership.

You can configure global, group, interface, and group membership settings.

Configure the global MVR settings

You can configure the global MVR settings that apply to the switch.

To configure the global MVR settings:

1. Launch a web browser.

2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Log in to the main UI with a web
browser
on page 27 and the subsections.

The login page displays.

3. Click the Main UI Login button.
