342 CHAPTER 14: VIRTUAL LANS (VLANS)
■GVRP is based on IEEE 802.1Q and allows for dynamic configuration
of port-based VLANs. GVRP can help yo u simplify the management of
VLAN configurations in larger networks. Use the command
bridge port gvrpState to explicitly enable GVRP on the
participating bridge ports and use the command bridge gvrpStat e
to enable the bridge GVRP state for the entire system. The bridge
GVRP state enables you to control GVRP on the system without losing
the per-port GVRP state. By default, the GVRP state for the entire
system is disabled and the GVRP state for each bridge port is
disabled.
■The system prompts you for a VLAN interface index number before it
displays the detail information.
■Either you can use network-based IP VLANs (by supplying Layer 3
address information when you configure a VLAN for IP), or you create
the IP VLAN and then define multiple IP interfaces per VLAN. See
Chapter 16.

Field Description
Ignore STP mode
(3500and 9000 Layer 3)
Whether a VLAN can ignore STP blocked ports and let
routing traffic pass through. Possible values: enabled
and disabled.
Index System-assigned index number that identifies a VLAN.
Statistics appear for the VLAN that you specify.
Layer 3 addresses
(3500and 9000 Layer 3)
Information that is used to set up flood domains for
overlapping IP VLAN subnetworks (network-based
VLANs).
Name Character string 0 through 32 bytes that identifies the
VLAN. The default VLAN always uses the name
