Chapter 28 Configuring IGMP Snooping and Filtering, and MVR
Configuring MVR
Because MVR multicast traffic is sent only on mVLANs, duplicating television-channel multicast traffic
for subscribers on different VLANs is unnecessary. The IGMP leave and join messages are in the VLAN
to which the subscriber port is assigned. The access layer switch (Switch A) modifies the forwarding
behavior to allow traffic forwarding from the multicast VLAN to the subscriber port in a different
VLAN. This is done by selectively allowing traffic to cross between the two VLANs.
IGMP reports are sent to the same IP multicast group address as the multicast data. The Switch A CPU
must capture all IGMP join and leave messages from the receiver ports and forward them to the multicast
VLAN of the source (uplink) port, based on the MVR mode.

Follow these guidelines when configuring MVR:
•
Ports can be configured as either a
source port
or a
receiver port
.
–
Ports connected to subscribers are configured as receiver ports.
