Example 11-1: Converting a dynamic VLAN to a static VLAN

ML1200# gvrp

ML1200(gvrp)## show-vlan

=================================================

VLAN ID	NAME	VLAN	STATUS
=================================================
1	Default VLAN	Static	Active
2	Blue	Static	Active
6	dyn6	Dynamic	Active

ML1200(gvrp)## static vlan=10

ML1200(gvrp)## show-vlan

=================================================

VLAN ID	NAME	VLAN	STATUS
=================================================
1	Default VLAN	Static	Active
2	Blue	Static	Active
6	dyn6	Static	Active

The unknown VLAN parameters are configured on a per interface basis using the CLI. The tagged, untagged, Auto, and Forbid options are configured in the VLAN context. Since dynamic VLANs operate as tagged VLANs, and it is possible that a tagged port on one device may not communicate with an untagged port on another device, GE Multilin recommends that you use tagged VLANs for the static VLANs.

A dynamic VLAN continues to exist on a port for as long as the port continues to receive advertisements of that VLAN from another device connected to that port or until you:

•Convert the VLAN to a static VLAN

•Reconfigure the port to Block or Disable

•Disable GVRP

•Reboot the switch
