Multicast VLAN Registration
mvr vlan group
Console(config-if)#mvr domain 1 type receiver
Console(config-if)#
This command statically binds a multicast group to a port which will receive long-
term multicast streams associated with a stable set of hosts. Use the no form to
restore the default settings.
Syntax
[no] mvr [domain domain-id] vlan vlan-id group ip-address
domain-id - An independent multicast domain. (Range: 1-5)
vlan-id - Receiver VLAN to which the specified multicast traffic is flooded.
(Range: 1-4094)
group - Defines a multicast service sent to the selected port.
ip-address - Statically configures an interface to receive multicast traffic
from the IPv4 address specified for an MVR multicast group.
(Range: 224.0.1.0 - 239.255.255.255)
Default Setting
No receiver port is a member of any configured multicast group.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
◆
Multicast groups can be statically assigned to a receiver port using this
command.
◆
The IP address range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 is used for multicast
streams. MVR group addresses cannot fall within the reserved IP multicast
address range of 224.0.0.x.
◆
Only IGMP version 2 or 3 hosts can issue multicast join or leave messages. If
MVR must be configured for an IGMP version 1 host, the multicast groups must
be statically assigned using the mvr vlan group command.
◆
The MVR VLAN cannot be specified as the receiver VLAN for static bindings.
Example
The following statically assigns a multicast group to a receiver port:
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/7
Console(config-if)#mvr domain 1 type receiver
Console(config-if)#mvr domain 1 vlan 3 group 225.0.0.5
Console(config-if)#
