Note: The following examples show how to configure the MVR on the MVR
switch.

Configure MVR in Compatible Mode

In compatible mode, the MVR switch does not learn multicast groups; the groups have to be
configured by the operator as the MVR does not forward IGMP reports from the hosts (RP
port) to the IGMP router (SP port). To operate in this mode, the IGMP router has to be
statically configured to transmit all required multicast streams to the MVR switch.
