the same time.

Configuring GVRP
Globally, enable GVRP on each switch to facilitate GVRP communications. 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 illustration below, that type of port is referred to as a VLAN
trunk port, but it is not necessary to specifically identify to Dell Networking OS that the port is a trunk
port.
