multicast streams for clients in different VLANs. A diagram of a network configured for MVR
is shown in the following illustration. SP is the source port and RP is the receiver port.

Figure 27. Network configured for MVR
Note: The following examples show how to configure the MVR on the
MVR switch (GSM7212P in this case).
Configure MVR in Compatible Mode
In compatible mode, the MVR switch does not learn multicast groups; the groups have to be
configured by the operator as the MVR does not forward IGMP reports from the hosts (RP
port) to the IGMP router (SP port). To operate in this mode, the IGMP router has to be
statically configured to transmit all required multicast streams to the MVR switch.
