Configuring MVR
MVR Configuration Guidelines and Limitations
Follow these guidelines when configuring MVR:
•
Receiver ports can only be access ports; they cannot be trunk ports. Receiver ports on a switch can
be in different VLANs, but should not belong to the multicast VLAN.
be in different VLANs, but should not belong to the multicast VLAN.
•
The maximum number of multicast entries (MVR group addresses) that can be configured on a
switch (that is, the maximum number of television channels that can be received) is 256.
switch (that is, the maximum number of television channels that can be received) is 256.
•
Because MVR on the switch uses IP multicast addresses instead of MAC multicast addresses,
aliased IP multicast addresses are allowed on the switch. However, if the switch is interoperating
with Catalyst 3550 or Catalyst 3500 XL switches, you should not configure IP addresses that alias
between themselves or with the reserved IP multicast addresses (in the range 224.0.0.xxx).

•
Do not configure MVR on private VLAN ports.
•
MVR is not supported when multicast routing is enabled on a switch. If you enable multicast routing
and a multicast routing protocol while MVR is enabled, MVR is disabled, and you receive a warning
message. If you try to enable MVR while multicast routing and a multicast routing protocol are
enabled, the operation to enable MVR is cancelled, and you receive an error message.

•
MVR can coexist with IGMP snooping on a switch.
•
MVR data received on an MVR receiver port is not forwarded to MVR source ports.
•
MVR does not support IGMPv3 messages.
•
The MVR implementation on Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E switches is the same as that on
Catalyst 3750 and 3560 switches except for the differences summarized in the Cisco Software
Activation and Compatibility Document on Cisco.com.

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.
