CHAPTER 11: VLAN REGISTRATION OVER GARP

VLAN REGISTRATION OVER GARP

11.3 Configuring GVRP with EnerVista Secure Web Management software

11.3.1 Example

To configure GVRP,

ZSelect the Configuration > VLAN > GVRP menu item.

From the GVRP menu screen, GVRP can be enabled or disabled using the drop down menu.

Each specific port can be put in the Learn, Disable or Enable state as shown in Table 11–2:

GVRP options on page 11–5.

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

Save the configuration

Reboot the switch

The time-to-live for dynamic VLANs is 10 seconds. That is, if a port has not received an advertisement for an existing dynamic VLAN during the last 10 seconds, the port removes itself from that dynamic VLAN.

Refer to GVRP Operation Notes on page 11–7for additional information on using GVRP.
