GVRP

Converting a Dynamic VLAN to a Static VLAN. If a port on the switch has joined a dynamic VLAN, you can use the following command to convert that dynamic VLAN to a static VLAN:

Syntax: static <dynamic-vlan-id>

For example, to convert dynamic VLAN 333 (from the previous example) to a static VLAN:

HP2512(config)# static 333

GVRP Operating Notes

A dynamic VLAN must be converted to a static VLAN before it can have an IP address.

Converting a dynamic VLAN to a static VLAN and then executing the write memory command saves the VLAN in the startup-config file and makes it a permanent part of the switch’s VLAN configuration.

Within the same broadcast domain, a dynamic VLAN can pass through a device that is not GVRP-aware. This is because a hub or a switch that is not GVRP-ware will flood the GVRP (multicast) advertisement packets out all ports.

GVRP assigns dynamic VLANs as Tagged VLANs. To configure the VLAN as Untagged, you must first convert it to a static VLAN.

Rebooting a switch on which a dynamic VLAN exists deletes that VLAN. However, the dynamic VLAN re-appears after the reboot if GVRP is enabled and the switch again receives advertisements for that VLAN through a port configured to add dynamic VLANs.
