Configuring Mvr Interfaces - Cisco IE-3000-8TC Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 25 Configuring IGMP Snooping and MVR
To return the switch to its default settings, use the no mvr [mode | group ip-address | querytime | vlan]
global configuration commands.
This example shows how to enable MVR, configure the group address, set the query time to 1 second
(10 tenths), specify the MVR multicast VLAN as VLAN 22, and set the MVR mode as dynamic:
Switch(config)# mvr
Switch(config)# mvr group 228.1.23.4
Switch(config)# mvr querytime 10
Switch(config)# mvr vlan 22
Switch(config)# mvr mode dynamic
Switch(config)# end
You can use the show mvr members privileged EXEC command to verify the MVR multicast group
addresses on the switch.

Configuring MVR Interfaces

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure Layer 2 MVR interfaces:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2 mvr
Step 3 interface interface-id
Step 4 mvr type {source | receiver}
Step 5
mvr vlan vlan-id group [ip-address] (Optional) Statically configure a port to receive multicast traffic sent to the
Step 6 mvr immediate

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enable MVR on the switch.
Specify the Layer 2 port to configure, and enter interface configuration
mode.
Configure an MVR port as one of these:
source—Configure uplink ports that receive and send multicast data as
•
source ports. Subscribers cannot be directly connected to source ports.
All source ports on a switch belong to the single multicast VLAN.
receiver—Configure a port as a receiver port if it is a subscriber port
•
and should only receive multicast data. It does not receive data unless it
becomes a member of the multicast group, either statically or by using
IGMP leave and join messages. Receiver ports cannot belong to the
multicast VLAN.
The default configuration is as a non-MVR port. If you attempt to configure
a non-MVR port with MVR characteristics, the operation fails.
multicast VLAN and the IP multicast address. A port statically configured
as a member of a group remains a member of the group until statically
removed.
In compatible mode, this command applies to only receiver ports. In
Note
dynamic mode, it applies to receiver ports and source ports.
Receiver ports can also dynamically join multicast groups by using IGMP
join and leave messages.
(Optional) Enable the Immediate-Leave feature of MVR on the port.
This command applies to only receiver ports and should only be
Note
enabled on receiver ports to which a single receiver device is
connected.
