Configuring GVRP
14
Enabling GVRP
To enable GVRP, enter commands such as the following at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
PowerConnect(config)#gvrp-enable
PowerConnect(config-gvrp)#enable all
The first command globally enables support for the feature and changes the CLI to the GVRP
configuration level. The second command enables GVRP on all ports on the device.
The following command enables GVRP on ports 1/24, 2/24, and 4/17.
PowerConnect(config-gvrp)#enable ethernet 1/24 ethernet 2/24 ethernet 4/17
Syntax: [no] gvrp-enable
Syntax: [no] enable all | ethernet <port> [ethernet <port> | to <port>]
The all keyword enables GVRP on all ports.
ethernet <port> specifies a port. Specify the <port> variable in the following formats:
• PowerConnect B-Series FCX stackable switches – <stack-unit/slotnum/portnum>
To specify a list of ports, enter each port as ethernet <port> followed by a space. For example,
ethernet 1/24 ethernet 6/24 ethernet 8/17
To specify a range of ports, enter the first port in the range as ethernet <port> followed by the last
port in the range. For example, ethernet 1/1 to 1/8.
You can combine lists and ranges in the same command. For example: enable ethernet 1/1 to 1/8
ethernet 1/24 ethernet 6/24 ethernet 8/17.
Disabling VLAN advertising
To disable VLAN advertising on a port enabled for GVRP, enter a command such as the following at
the GVRP configuration level.
PowerConnect(config-gvrp)#block-applicant ethernet 1/24 ethernet 6/24 ethernet
8/17
This command disables advertising of VLAN information on ports 1/24, 6/24, and 8/17.
Syntax: [no] block-applicant all | ethernet <port> [ethernet <port> | to <port>]
NOTE
Leaveall messages are still sent on the GVRP ports.
