Configuring MVR
Group Address
Profiles
Use the Multicast > MVR (Configure Profile and Associate Profile) pages to assign
the multicast group address for required services to one or more MVR domains.
Command Usage
â—† Use the Configure Profile page to statically configure all multicast group
addresses that will join the MVR VLAN. Any multicast data associated with an
MVR group is sent from all source ports to all receiver ports that have registered
to receive data from that multicast group.
â—† The IP address range from 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.
â—† IGMP snooping and MVR share a maximum number of 1024 groups. Any
multicast streams received in excess of this limitation will be flooded to all ports
in the associated domain.
