GS716Tv3, GS724Tv4, and GS748Tv5 Smart Switches MVR Configuration Use the MVR Configuration screen to enable MVR and to configure global MVR settings on the switch.  To configure basic MVR settings: 1. Select Switching > MVR > Basic > MVR Configuration 2. Next to MVR Running select Enable. 3. In the MVR Multicast VLAN field, specify the VLAN on which MVR multicast data will be received. All source ports belong to this VLAN. The value can be set in a range of 1 to 4093. The default value is 1. 4. In the MVR Global query response time field, set the maximum time to wait for the IGMP reports membership on a receiver port. This time applies only to receiver-port leave processing. When an IGMP query is sent from a receiver port, the switch waits for the default or configured MVR query time for an IGMP group membership report before removing the port from the multicast group membership. The value is equal to the tenths of second. The range is from 1 to 100 tenths. The factory default is 5 tenths or one-half. 5. From the MVR Mode list, select the MVR mode of operation. • Dynamic. The MVR switch learns existing multicast groups by snooping the IGMP queries from router on source ports and forwarding the IGMP reports from the hosts to the IGMP router on the Multicast VLAN (with appropriate translation of the VLAN ID). • Compatible. The MVR switch does not learn multicast groups; the groups have to be configured by the operator because MVR does not forward IGMP reports from the hosts (RP port) to the IGMP router (SP port). To operate in this mode, the IGMP router has to be statically configured to transmit all required multicast streams to the MVR switch. The following table describes the global MVR status fields on the screen. Table 37. MVR status Field MVR Max Multicast Groups MVR Current Multicast Groups Definition The maximum number of multicast groups that MVR supports. The current number of the MVR groups allocated.

MVR Configuration
Use the MVR Configuration screen to enable MVR and to configure global MVR settings on
the switch.
To configure basic MVR settings:
1.
Select
Switching
>
MVR
>
Basic
>
MVR Configuration
2.
Next to MVR Running select
Enable.
3.
In the MVR Multicast VLAN field, specify the VLAN on which MVR multicast data will be
received.
All source ports belong to this VLAN. The value can be set in a range of 1 to 4093. The
default value is 1.
4.
In the MVR Global query response time field, set the maximum time to wait for the IGMP
reports membership on a receiver port.
This time applies only to receiver-port leave processing. When an IGMP query is sent
from a receiver port, the switch waits for the default or configured MVR query time for an
IGMP group membership report before removing the port from the multicast group
membership. The value is equal to the tenths of second. The range is from 1 to 100
tenths. The factory default is 5 tenths or one-half.
5.
From the MVR Mode list, select the MVR mode of operation.
Dynamic
. The MVR switch learns existing multicast groups by snooping the IGMP
queries from router on source ports and forwarding the IGMP reports from the hosts
to the IGMP router on the Multicast VLAN (with appropriate translation of the VLAN
ID).
Compatible
. The MVR switch does not learn multicast groups; the groups have to be
configured by the operator because MVR does not forward IGMP reports from the
hosts (RP port) to the IGMP router (SP port). To operate in this mode, the IGMP router
has to be statically configured to transmit all required multicast streams to the MVR
switch.
