Switch(config)# interface
Step 4
gigabitethernet1/0/2
Configures an MVR port as one of these:mvr type {source | receiver}
Step 5
Example:
Switch(config-if)# mvr type receiver
• source—Configures uplink ports that receive and send multicast
data as source ports. Subscribers cannot be directly connected to
source ports. All source ports on a switch belong to the single
multicast VLAN.
• receiver—Configures a port as a receiver port if it is a subscriber
port and should only receive multicast data. It does not receive
data unless it becomes a member of the multicast group, either
statically or by using IGMP leave and join messages. Receiver
ports cannot belong to the multicast VLAN.
The default configuration is as a non-MVR port. If you attempt to
configure a non-MVR port with MVR characteristics, the operation fails.
To return the interface to its default settings, use the no mvr
[type | immediate | vlan vlan-id | group] interface configuration
commands.
Note
(Optional) Statically configures a port to receive multicast traffic sent
to the multicast VLAN and the IP multicast address. A port statically
mvr vlan vlan-id group [ip-address]
Example:
Switch(config-if)# mvr vlan 22 group
Step 6
configured as a member of a group remains a member of the group until
statically removed.
In compatible mode, this command applies to only receiver
ports. In dynamic mode, it applies to receiver ports and source
ports.
Note
Receiver ports can also dynamically join multicast groups by using IGMP
join and leave messages.

(Optional) Enables the Immediate-Leave feature of MVR on the port.mvr immediate
Step 7
Example:
Switch(config-if)# mvr immediate
This command applies to only receiver ports and should only
be enabled on receiver ports to which a single receiver device
is connected.
