Asante Technologies 8000 user manual Gvrp Configuration Menu

Advanced Management

For example, assume a three-switch network that includes three VLANs; VID 1, VID 2, and VID 3. Also assume that the switches (A, B, and C) are configured with the VLAN groups shown in Figure 4-14. In this case, switch A and switch C both include VLAN #2 in their VLAN groups. However, the VLAN traffic must cross switch B.

Using GVRP, switches A and C can register their interest in VLAN #2 with switch B. Then switch B can join the VLAN #2 topology when it receives frames tagged with that VID. Once it does, it can then pass that VLAN traffic to switches A and C.

To access the GVRP Configuration Menu, type v in the Configuration Menu to access the VLAN Management Menu, then type g to access the GVRP Configuration Menu. A screen similar to Figure 4-15 appears.
