GVRP CONFIGURATION GUIDE

Configuring GVRP

GVRP enables a switch to propagate local VLAN registration information to other

 

participant switches and dynamically update the VLAN registration information

 

from other switches to its local database about active VLAN members and through

 

which port they can be reached. GVRP ensures that all switches on a bridged LAN

 

maintain the same VLAN registration information, while less manual configuration

 

workload is involved.

Requirements

As shown in Figure 8, all the switches in the network are Switch 5500s.

All the involved Ethernet ports on the switches are configured to be trunk ports and permit all the VLANs to pass through.

GVRP is enabled for all the switches globally and for all the ports on them.

Configure static VLAN 5 for Switch C, static VLAN 8 for Switch D, and static VLAN 5 and static VLAN 7 for Switch E. Switch A and Switch B are not configured with static VLANs.

Set the registration mode of Ethernet 1/0/1 on Switch E to fixed, and display dynamic VLAN registration information of Switch A, Switch B, and Switch E.

Set the registration mode of Ethernet 1/0/1 on Switch E to forbidden, and display dynamic VLAN registration information of Switch A, Switch B, and Switch E.
