Configure multicast VLAN registration

IGMP snooping helps limit multicast traffic when member ports are in the same VLAN.
However, when ports belong to different VLANs, a copy of the multicast stream is sent to
each VLAN with member ports in the multicast group. Multicast VLAN registration (MVR)
eliminates the need to duplicate the multicast traffic when multicast group member ports
belong to different VLANs.
MVR uses a dedicated multicast VLAN to forward multicast traffic over the L2 network. Only
one multicast source VLAN (MVLAN can be configured per switch, and it is used only for
certain multicast traffic, such as traffic from an IPTV application, to avoid duplication of
multicast streams for clients in different VLANs. Clients can dynamically join or leave the
multicast VLAN without interfering with their membership in other VLANs.
MVR, like IGMP snooping, allows a Layer 2 switch to listen to IGMP messages to learn about
multicast group membership.
You can configure basic, advanced, group, interface, or group membership settings.

Configure the global MVR settings

To configure the global MVR settings:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Change the default IP address of
the switch on page 13.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch's password in the Password field.
The default password is password.
