3-7 MVR
The MVR feature enables multicast traffic forwarding on the Multicast VLAN. In a multicast
television application, a PC or a television with a set-top box can receive the multicast stream.
Multiple set-top boxes or PCs can be connected to one subscriber port, which is a switch port
configured as an MVR receiver port. When a subscriber selects a channel, the set-top box or
PC sends an IGMP join message to Switch A to join the appropriate multicast. Uplink ports
that send and receive multicast data to and from the multicast VLAN are called MVR source
ports.
