The following table describes the labels in this screen.
15.4 MVR
Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) is designed for applications (such as Media-on-
Demand (MoD)) that use multicast traffic across a service provider network.
MVR allows one single multicast VLAN to be shared among different subscriber
VLANs on the network. While isolated in different subscriber VLANs, connected
devices can subscribe to and unsubscribe from the multicast stream in the
multicast VLAN. This improves bandwidth utilization with reduced multicast traffic
in the subscriber VLANs and simplifies multicast group management.
You must enable IGMP snooping to use MVR. However, MVR only responds to IGMP
join and leave control messages from multicast groups that are configured under
MVR. Join and leave reports from other multicast groups are managed by IGMP
snooping.
15.4.1 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.
15.4.2 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.
