Configures the MVR static group address range on a VLAN.
| vlan-name | Specifies a VLAN name. |
| policy-name | Specifies a policy file. |
By default, all the MVR group addresses work in static mode.
If no policy file is specified (the none option), the entire multicast address range 224.0.0.0/4, except for the multicast control range 224.0.0.0/24, is used for static groups in MVR.
MVR must first be configured on the VLAN before using this command.
The following is a sample policy file mvrpol.pol. This policy configures 236.1.1.0/24 as the MVR static group address range. Any MVR addresses outside this range are dynamically registered through IGMP. An MVR VLAN will proxy join only for addresses that are not in the static group. If you want all the multicast groups to by dynamic, use a policy file with this command that denies all multicast addresses.
Entry extreme1 {
if match any {
nlri 236.1.1.0/24 ;
}
then {
permit ;
}
}
The following example configures the MVR static group address range specified in the policy file mvrpol.pol for the VLAN v1:
configure mvr vlan v1 static group mvrpol
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 11.4.
This command is available on platforms that support the appropriate license. For complete information about software licensing, including how to obtain and upgrade your license and which licenses support the MVR feature, see the Switch Engine v33.1.1 Licensing Guide document.
