CONFIGURING MVR6
DOMAIN SETTINGS
Use the Multicast > MVR6 (Configure Domain) page to enable MVR6
globally on the switch, and select the VLAN that will serve as the sole
channel for common multicast streams supported by the service provider.

PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
◆ Domain ID– An independent multicast domain. (Range: 1-5)
◆ MVR6 Status – When MVR6 is enabled on the switch, any multicast
data associated with an MVR6 group is sent from all designated source
ports, to all receiver ports that have registered to receive data from
that multicast group. (Default: Disabled)
◆ MVR6 VLAN – Identifier of the VLAN that serves as the channel for
streaming multicast services using MVR6. MVR6 source ports should be
configured as members of the MVR6 VLAN (see "Adding Static Members
to VLANs" on page 198), but MVR6 receiver ports should not be
manually configured as members of this VLAN. (Default: 1)
◆ MVR6 Running Status – Indicates whether or not all necessary
conditions in the MVR6 environment are satisfied. Running status is
Active as long as MVR6 is enabled, the specified MVR6 VLAN exists, and
a source port with a valid link has been configured (see "Configuring
MVR6 Interface Status" on page 666).
◆ MVR6 Current Learned Groups – The number of MVR6 groups
currently assigned to this domain.
◆ Forwarding Priority – The CoS priority assigned to all multicast traffic
forwarded into this domain. (Range: 0-7, where 7 is the highest
priority)
This parameter can be used to set a high priority for low-latency
multicast traffic such as a video-conference, or to set a low priority for
normal multicast traffic not sensitive to latency.
