MRP-IEEE Multiple MAC Registration Protocol
[ Switching > MRP-IEEE > MMRP ]
The Multiple MAC Registration Protocol (MMRP) lets end devices and MAC switches register and
de-register group membership and individual MAC address information with switches located in the
same LAN. The switches within the LAN disseminate the information through switches that support
extended filtering services. Using the MAC address information, MMRP lets you confine multicast
traffic to the required areas of a Layer 2 network.
For an example of how MMRP works, consider a security camera mounted on a mast overlooking
a building. The camera sends multicast packets onto a LAN. You have 2 end devices installed for
surveillance in separate locations. You register the MAC addresses of the camera and the 2 end
devices in the same multicast group. You then specify the MMRP settings on the ports to send the
multicast group packets to the 2 end devices.
The dialog contains the following tabs:
[
Configuration
]
In this tab, you select active MMRP port participants and set the device to transmit periodic events.
The dialog also lets you enable VLAN registered MAC address broadcasting.
A periodic state machine exists for each port and transmits periodic events regularly to the applicant
state machines associated with active ports. Periodic events contain information indicating the
status of the devices associated with the active port.
Operation
Operation
Enables/disables the global
MMRP
function in the device. The device participates in MMRP
message exchanges.
Possible values:
On
The device is a normal participant in MMRP message exchanges.
Off
(default setting)
The device ignores MMRP messages.
Configuration
Periodic state machine
Enables/disables the global periodic state machine in the device.
