Configuring MVR

Configuring MVR Global Parameters

You do not need to set the optional MVR parameters if you choose to use the default settings. If you do
want to change the default parameters (except for the MVR VLAN), you must first enable MVR.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure MVR parameters:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2
mvr
Step 3
mvr group ip-address [count]
Step 4 mvr querytime value
Step 5
mvr vlan vlan-id
Step 6
mvr mode {dynamic | compatible} (Optional) Specify the MVR mode of operation:
Step 7 end
Step 8
show mvr
or
show mvr members
Step 9 copy running-config
startup-config
To return the switch to its default settings, use the no mvr [mode | group ip-address | querytime | vlan]
global configuration commands.
This example shows how to enable MVR, configure the MVR group address, set the query time to
1 second (10 tenths), specify the MVR multicast VLAN as VLAN 22, set the MVR mode as dynamic,
and verify the results:
Switch(config)# mvr
Switch(config)# mvr group 228.1.23.4

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enable MVR on the switch.
Configure an IP multicast address on the switch or use the count parameter to
configure a contiguous series of MVR group addresses (the range for count is
1 to 256; the default is 1). Any multicast data sent to this address is sent to all
source ports on the switch and all receiver ports that have elected to receive
data on that multicast address. Each multicast address would correspond to
one television channel.
Each IP address translates to a multicast 48-bit MAC address. If an IP
Note
address being configured translates (aliases) to a previously
configured MAC address or to any reserved multicast MAC addresses,
the command fails.
(Optional) Define the maximum time to wait for IGMP report memberships
on a receiver port before removing the port from multicast group membership.
The value is in units of tenths of a second. The range is from 1 to 100 and the
default is 5 tenths or one-half second.
(Optional) Specify the VLAN in which multicast data is received; all source
ports must belong to this VLAN. The VLAN ID range is 1 to 4094. The
default is VLAN 1.
dynamic—Allows dynamic MVR membership on source ports.
•
compatible—Is compatible with Catalyst 3500 XL and Catalyst 2900 XL
•
switches and does not support IGMP dynamic joins on source ports.
The default is compatible mode.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify the configuration.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
