C HAPTER 4 | Configuring the Switch
Multicast VLAN Registration
– 132 –
◆ MVR VLAN – Identifier of the VLAN that serves as the channel for
streaming multicast services using MVR. MVR source ports should be
configured as members of the MVR VLAN, but MVR receiver ports
should not be manually configured as members of this VLAN.
(Default: 100)
Port Configuration
◆ Port – Port identifier.
◆ Mode – Sets the MVR operational mode for any port. MVR must also be
globally enabled on the switch for this setting to take effect. MVR only
needs to be enabled on a receiver port if there are subscribers receiving
multicast traffic from one of the MVR groups. (Default: Disabled)
◆ Type – The following interface types are supported:
■
Source – An uplink port that can send and receive multicast data
for the groups assigned to the MVR VLAN. Note that the source port
must be manually configured as a member of the MVR VLAN (see
"Assigning Ports to VLANs" on page 158).
■
Receiver – A subscriber port that can receive multicast data sent
through the MVR VLAN. Any port configured as a receiver port will
be dynamically added to the MVR VLAN when it forwards an IGMP
report or join message from an attached host
requesting any of the
designated multicast services supported by the MVR VLAN.
◆ Immediate Leave – Configures the switch to immediately remove an
interface from a multicast stream as soon as it receives a leave
message for that group. (This option only applies to an interface
configured as an MVR receiver.)
Just remember that only IGMP version 2 or 3 hosts can issue multicast
leave messages. If a version 1 host is receiving multicast traffic, the
switch can only remove the interface from the multicast stream after
the host responds to a periodic request for a membership report.
WEB INTERFACE
To configure global and interface settings for MVR:
1. Click Configuration, MVR.
2. Enable MVR globally on the switch, and select the MVR VLAN.
3. Set each port that will participate in the MVR protocol as a source port
or receiver port, and optionally enable Immediate Leave on any
receiver port to which only one subscriber is attached.
4. Click Save.
