Interfaces
Use the Multicast > MVR (Configure Static Group Member) page to statically bind
multicast groups to a port which will receive long-term multicast streams
associated with a stable set of hosts.
Command Usage
◆ Multicast groups can be statically assigned to a receiver port using this
configuration page.
◆ 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.
◆ Only IGMP version 2 or 3 hosts can issue multicast join or leave messages. If
MVR must be configured for an IGMP version 1 host, the multicast groups must
be statically assigned.
◆ The MVR VLAN cannot be specified as the receiver VLAN for static bindings.

◆ Domain ID – An independent multicast domain. (Range: 1-5)
◆ Interface – Port or trunk identifier.
◆ VLAN – VLAN identifier. (Range: 1-4094)

the Configure General page.
