Table 224: MVR Global Configuration Fields
Field
Description
Admin Mode
The administrative mode of MVR on the device.
MVR Mode
The MVR learning mode, which can be one of the following:
•
Compatible – MVR does not learn source ports membership; instead, all
source ports are members of all groups by default. MVR does not forward
Joins and Leaves from the hosts to the router.
•
Dynamic – MVR learns source ports membership from IGMP queries. MVR
forwards the IGMP Joins and Leaves from the hosts to the router.
The multicast traffic is forwarded only to the receiver ports that joined the group,
either by IGMP Joins or MVR static configuration.
Multicast VLAN
A dedicated VLAN used to transfer multicast traffic over the network, avoiding
duplication of multicast streams for clients in different VLANs.
Maximum Multicast Groups
The maximum number of membership groups that can be statically configured
in the MVR database.
Current Multicast Groups
The current number of membership groups that are statically configured in the
MVR database.
Query Response Time
The maximum time to wait for an IGMP membership report on a receiver port
before removing the port from the multicast group. The query time is specified in
tenths of a second.
