CONFIGURING MVR
INTERFACE STATUS
Use the Multicast > MVR (Configure Interface) page to configure each
interface that participates in the MVR protocol as a source port or receiver
port. If you are sure that only one subscriber attached to an interface is
receiving multicast services, you can enable the immediate leave function.

COMMAND USAGE
â—† A port configured as an MVR receiver or source port can join or leave
multicast groups configured under MVR. However, note that these ports
can also use IGMP snooping to join or leave any other multicast groups
using the standard rules for multicast filtering.
â—† Receiver ports can belong to different VLANs, but should not be
configured as a member of the MVR VLAN. MVR allows a receiver port
to dynamically join or leave multicast groups sourced through the MVR
VLAN. Multicast groups can also be statically assigned to a receiver port
(see "Assigning Static MVR Multicast Groups to Interfaces" on
page 498).
Receiver ports should not be statically configured as a member of the
MVR VLAN. If so configured, its MVR status will be inactive. Also, note
that VLAN membership for MVR receiver ports cannot be set to access
mode (see "Adding Static Members to VLANs" on page 171).
