COMMAND USAGE
IGMP snooping and MVR share a maximum number of 255 groups. Any
multicast streams received in excess of this limitation will be flooded to all
ports in the associated VLAN.
PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed in the web interface:
◆ MVR Group IP – IP address for an MVR multicast group.
(Range: 224.0.1.0 - 239.255.255.255; Default: no groups are assigned
to the MVR VLAN)
Any multicast data sent to this address is sent to all source ports on the
switch and all receiver ports that have elected to receive data on that
multicast address.
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.
IGMP snooping and MVR share a maximum number of 255 groups. Any
multicast streams received in excess of this limitation will be flooded to
all ports in the associated VLAN.
◆ Count – The number of contiguous MVR group addresses.
(Range: 1-255; Default: 0)
