Information
Fixed registration prevents an interface, configured using the command line, to belong to a VLAN (static
configuration) from being unconfigured when it receives a Leave message. Therefore, Registration mode
on that interface is fixed.
Normal registration is the default registration. The port’s membership in the VLAN depends on GVRP.
The interface becomes a member of a VLAN after learning about the VLAN through GVRP. If the VLAN is
removed from the port that sends GVRP advertisements to this device, the port stops being a member of
the VLAN.
To advertise or learn about VLANs through GVRP, use the forbidden command when you do not want
the interface.
