4.4.13 MVR
MVR stands for Multicast VLAN Registration that enables a media server to transmit multicast
stream in a single multicast VLAN when clients receiving multicast VLAN stream can reside in
different VLANs. Clients in different VLANs intend to join or leave the multicast group simply by
sending the IGMP Join or Leave message to a receiver port. The receiver port that belongs to one
of the multicast groups can receive multicast stream from the media server.
MVR Configuration Guidelines and Limitations
Guidelines:

Enable IGMP global setting.

Enable MVR global setting.

Create MVR VLAN and indicate the Source port and Receive port.

Create MVR Groups whose multicasting channels would belong to MVR VLAN.

Enable VLAN Aware in MVR Source Port. In a normal condition, Tag multicasting
stream injects to Source port. (Optional)

Setting VLAN Port Egress mode in MVR Receive port. In a normal condition, Un-tag
multicasting stream forward to receive port. (Optional)
Limitation:

Receiver ports on a switch can be in different VLANs, but they should not belong to the
multicast VLAN.

Do not configure MVR on private VLAN ports.

MVR can coexist with IGMP snooping on a switch.

MVR data received on an MVR receiver port is not forwarded to MVR source ports.

MVR does not support IGMPv3 messages.

MVR on IPv6 multicast groups is not supported.
