Chapter 6 Configuring the System

Configuring MVR

Setting MVR Parameters

You do not need to set MVR parameters if you choose to use the default settings. If you do want to
change the default parameters, you must do so before enabling MVR.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure MVR parameters:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

mvr querytime value

(Optional) Define the maximum time to wait for IGMP report memberships
on a receiver port before removing the port from multicast group
membership. The value is in units of tenths of a second. The default is 5
tenths or one-half second.

Step 3

mvr vlan vlan-id

(Optional) Specify the VLAN in which multicast data will be received; all
source ports must belong to this VLAN. The default is VLAN 1.

Step 4

interface interface

Enter interface configuration mode, and enter the type and number of the
port to configure, for example, fastethernet 0/1.

Step 5

mvr threshold value

(Optional) Define the maximum of multicast data packets received on a
receiver port before it is administratively shut down. The default is 20.

Step 6

end

Exit configuration mode.

Step 7

show mvr
show mvr interface

Verify the configuration.

Step 8

copy running-config startup-config Save your configuration changes to nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).
