17.3.1 Types of MVR Ports
In MVR, a source port is a port on the switch that can send and receive multicast traffic in a
multicast VLAN while a receiver port can only receive multicast traffic. Once configured, the
switch maintains a forwarding table that matches the multicast stream to the associated
multicast group.
17.3.2 MVR Modes
You can set your switch to operate in either dynamic or compatible mode.
In dynamic mode, the switch sends IGMP leave and join reports through the source port(s) to
the other multicast devices (such as multicast routers or servers) in the multicast VLAN. This
allows the multicast devices to update the multicast forwarding table to forward or not forward
multicast traffic to the receiver ports.
In compatible mode, the switch does not send any IGMP reports through the source port(s). In
this case, you must manually configure the forwarding settings on the multicast devices in the
multicast VLAN.
Refer to the user’s guide that comes with your switch for more background information.
