The following is a sample of the CLI commands:
GVRP Parameters
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is provided for automatic
distribution of VLAN membership information among VLAN-aware bridges.
GVRP enables VLAN-aware bridges to automatically learn VLANs-to-bridge-
ports mapping, without having to individually configure each bridge and
register VLAN membership.
To ensure the correct operation of the GVRP protocol, it is advised to set the
maximum number of GVRP VLANs equal to a value which significantly
exceeds:
– The number of all static VLANs both currently configured and
expected to be configured.
– The number of all dynamic VLANs participating in GVRP
, both
cu
rrently configured (initial number of dynamic GVRP VLANs is
128)
and
expected to be configured.
To set GVRP parameters:
1
Click Switching > VLAN > GVRP Parameters in the tree view to display
the
GVRP Parameters: Summary page.
2 Enable/disable GVRP on the device in the GVRP Global Status field.
