ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1808
configure mvr mvr-address
configure mvr vlan <vlan-name> mvr-address {<policy-name> | none}
Description
Configures the MVR address range on a VLAN.
Syntax Description
Default
The default address range is 224.0.0.0/4 (all multicast addresses), but excluding 224.0.0.0/24 (the
multicast control range).
Usage Guidelines
If no policy file is specified (the
none
option), the entire multicast address range 224.0.0.0/4, except for
the multicast control range 224.0.0.0/24 is used for MVR.
MVR must first be configured on the VLAN before using this command.
If the policy is later refreshed, groups denied and newly allowed groups in the policy will be flushed
from fast path forwarding. This will allow synching existing channels with the new policy, without
disturbing existing channels.
The following is a sample policy file mvrpol.pol. This policy configures 236.1.1.0/24 as the MVR
address range. Any address outside this range will have the standard switching behavior on an MVR
VLAN.
Entry extreme1 {
if match any {
nlri 236.1.1.0/24 ;
}
then {
permit ;
}
}
Example
The following command configures the MVR address range specified in the policy file mvrpol.pol for
the VLAN
v1
:
configure mvr vlan v1 mvr-address mvrpol
vlan-name
Specifies a VLAN name.
policy-name
Specifies a policy file.
