Usage Guidelines
Configure a port as a source port if that port should be able to both send and receive multicast data bound
for the configured multicast groups. Multicast data is received on all ports configured as source ports.
Receiver ports on a switch can be in different VLANs, but should not belong to the multicast VLAN.
A port that is not taking part in MVR should not be configured as an MVR receiver port or a source port.
A non-MVR port is a normal switch port, able to send and receive multicast data with normal switch
behavior.
When Immediate Leave is enabled, a receiver port leaves a multicast group more quickly. Without
Immediate Leave, when the switch receives an IGMP leave message from a group on a receiver port, it
sends out an IGMP MAC-based query on that port and waits for IGMP group membership reports. If no
reports are received in a configured time period, the receiver port is removed from multicast group
membership. With Immediate Leave, an IGMP MAC-based query is not sent from the receiver port on
which the IGMP leave was received. As soon as the leave message is received, the receiver port is
removed from multicast group membership, which speeds up leave latency.
The Immediate Leave feature should be enabled only on receiver ports to which a single receiver device
is connected.
The mvr vlan group command statically configures ports to receive multicast traffic sent to the IP
multicast address. A port statically configured as a member of group remains a member of the group until
statically removed. In compatible mode, this command applies only to receiver ports; in dynamic mode,
it can also apply to source ports. Receiver ports can also dynamically join multicast groups by using
IGMP join messages.
When operating in compatible mode, MVR does not support IGMP dynamic joins on MVR source ports.
An MVR port cannot be a private-VLAN port.
Examples
This example shows how to configure a port as an MVR receiver port:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# mvr type receiver
Use the show mvr interface privileged EXEC command to display configured receiver ports and source
ports.
This example shows how to enable Immediate Leave on a port:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(config-if)# mvr immediate
This example shows how to add a port on VLAN 1 as a static member of IP multicast group 228.1.23.4:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# mvr vlan1 group 230.1.23.4
This example shows how to add a port 2 on VLAN 100 as a static member of IP multicast group
228.1.23.4. In this example, the receive port is an access port:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/2
Switch(config-if)# mvr vlan 100 group 228.1.23.4

Modification
This command was introduced.
The receiver and vlan-id keywords were added. These are required to
configure a trunk port as an MVR receiver port.
