AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series Main User Manual registration (MVR) eliminates the need to duplicate the multicast traffic when multicast group member ports belong to different VLANs. MVR uses a dedicated multicast VLAN to forward multicast traffic over the L2 network. You can configure one multicast source VLAN (MVLAN) only on the switch. Such an MVLAN is used only for certain multicast traffic, such as traffic from an IPTV application, to prevent duplication of multicast streams for clients in different VLANs. Clients can dynamically join or leave the MVLAN without interfering with their membership in other VLANs.
