GVRP CONFIGURATION GUIDE
Configuring GVRP GVRP enables a switch to propagate local VLAN registration information to other
participant switches and dynamically update the VLAN registration information
from other switches to its local database about active VLAN members and through
which port they can be reached. GVRP ensures that all switches on a bridged LAN
maintain the same VLAN registration information, while less manual configuration
workload is involved.

Requirements
As shown in Figure 8, all the switches in the network are Switch 5500s.
■ All the involved Ethernet ports on the switches are configured to be trunk ports
and permit all the VLANs to pass through.
■ GVRP is enabled for all the switches globally and for all the ports on them.
■ Configure static VLAN 5 for Switch C, static VLAN 8 for Switch D, and static
VLAN 5 and static VLAN 7 for Switch E. Switch A and Switch B are not
configured with static VLANs.
■ Set the registration mode of Ethernet 1/0/1 on Switch E to fixed, and display
dynamic VLAN registration information of Switch A, Switch B, and Switch E.
■ Set the registration mode of Ethernet 1/0/1 on Switch E to forbidden, and
display dynamic VLAN registration information of Switch A, Switch B, and
Switch E.
