Configure GVRP
To begin, enable GVRP.
To facilitate GVRP communications, enable GVRP globally on each switch. Then, GVRP configuration is per
interface on a switch-by-switch basis. Enable GVRP on each port that connects to a switch where you want
GVRP information exchanged. In the following example, that type of port is referred to as a VLAN trunk port,
but it is not necessary to specifically identify to the Dell Networking operating system (OS) that the port is a
trunk port.
