4. For multicast streams that will run for a long term and be associated
with a stable set of hosts, you can statically bind the multicast group to
the participating interfaces (see “Assigning Static Multicast Groups to
Interfaces” on page 15-20).
Configuring Global MVR Settings
The global settings for Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) include
enabling or disabling MVR for the switch, selecting the VLAN that will
serve as the sole channel for common multicast streams supported by the
service provider, and assigning the multicast group address for each of
these services to the MVR VLAN.
Command Attributes
• MVR Status – When MVR is enabled on both the switch, any multicast
data associated an MVR group is sent from all designated source ports,
and to all receiver ports that have registered to receive data from that
multicast group. (Default: Disabled)
• MVR Running Status – Indicates whether or not all necessary
conditions in the MVR environment are satisfied. (Running status is true
as long as MVR Status is enabled, and the specified MVR VLAN exists.)
• MVR VLAN – Identifier of the VLAN that serves as the channel for
streaming multicast services using MVR. (Range: 1-4094; Default: 1)
• MVR Group IP – IP address for an MVR multicast group. The IP
address range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 is used for multicast
streams. MVR group addresses cannot fall within the reserved IP
multicast address range of 224.0.0.x. (Range: 224.0.1.0 - 239.255.255.255;
Default: no groups are assigned to the MVR VLAN)
• Count – The number of contiguous MVR group addresses.
(Range: 1-255; Default: 0)
