Defining GVRP

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is specifically provided for automatic distribution of VLAN membership information among VLAN-aware bridges. GVRP allows VLAN-aware bridges to automatically learn VLANs to bridge ports mapping, without having to individually configure each bridge and register VLAN membership.

To define the GVRP parameters on the device:

1.Click Layer 2 > VLAN > GVRP Parameters. The GVRP Parameters Page opens:

Figure 53. GVRP Parameters Page

The GVRP Parameters Page is divided into Port and LAG parameters. The field definitions are the same. The GVRP Parameters Page contains the following fields:

GVRP Global Status — Indicates if GVRP is enabled on the device. The possible field values are:

Enable — Enables GVRP on the device.

Disable — Disables GVRP on the device.

Ports — Displays the Port GVRP settings.

LAGs — Displays the LAG GVRP settings.

Interface — Displays the port or LAG on which GVRP is enabled.
