To create a multicast profile
1.
If you have not already done so, create an MVR Profile and Multicast Address Map, if
necessary.

Associate the multicast profile when creating video service on an xDSL port.
For CLI:
create mcast-profile <p-name> [name|max-strms|query-interval|convert-
mcast|mcast-map|mvr-profile]
delete mcast-profile <p-name>
set mcast-profile <p-name> [max-strms|query-interval|convert-mcast]
show mcast-profile [p-name]
show mcast [ip *|on-interface *|on-interface * ip *|on-dsl-port *|on-
dsl-port * ip *|on-gpon-port *|on-gpon-port * ip *|on-vlan *|on-vlan *

Creating an MVR Profile and MVR VLAN Addresses
The Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) feature gives you the ability to "register" multicast
VLANs with a subscriber unicast VLAN.
MVR works in conjunction with IGMP where subscribers join and leave multicast groups via
IGMP. However, both the IGMP messages and multicast content are mapped from the
subscriber’s service into the isolated network-side multicast VLANs. At the subscriber port
level, MVR functionality switches multicast video from network-wide multicast VLANs onto
the unicast VLAN, delivered tagged or untagged to the subscriber.
This topic describes how to create an MVR profile where a list of ranges specifies how an IP
address range maps to a particular multicast VLAN.
Typical applications include the following:
Distribution of multicast VLAN and merging multicast traffic into subscribers “single
service” associated with a residential gateway
Distribution of multiple multicast VLANs (for example, high definition IPTV, standard
definition IPTV, and digital audio) and merge into a single subscriber service
