Updates and Corrections for the Management and Configuration Guide
GVRP Does Not Require a Common VLAN
Delete the note at the top of page 9-78 in the Management and Configuration Guide. GVRP does
not require a common VLAN (VID) connecting all of the GVRP-aware devices in the network to carry
GVRP packets.
Incomplete Information on Saving Configuration Changes
Using the CLI to make a configuration change to the running-config file, then going to the Menu
interface and making another configuration change, and then executing the Menu interface
Save
command saves all of your changes to the startup-config file. (At this point, the startup-config file
and the running-config file will have identical configurations, and will contain all of the changes that
you made in both interfaces.)
The second paragraph of the Note on page C-6 in the Management and Configuration Guide states
that "Using the Save command in the menu interface will not save a change made to the running
config by the CLI." This statement is true where you:
1. Make configuration changes in the CLI
2. Move to the Menu interface, but make no configuration changes while using the Menu interface.
3. Execute the
Save command in a Menu interface screen.
However, the statement is not true if you make a configuration change in the Menu interface before
going to step 3, above. See also "Switch Memory Operation" on page 216.
Update to Information on Duplicate MAC Addresses Across VLANs
On page 9-75 of the Management and Configuration Guide , the following information replaces the
text in the fourth bullet from the top and the Note:
Duplicate MAC addresses on different VLANs are not supported and can cause VLAN operating
problems. These duplicates are possible and common in situations involving Sun workstations with
multiple network interface cards, with DECnet routers, the ProCurve routing switches (9304M,
9308M, and 6308M-SX), and with certain Hewlett-Packard routers using OS versions earlier than
A.09.70 where any of the following are enabled: IPX, IP Host-Only, STP, XNS, DECnet, and possibly
others. When in doubt, ask your router vendor under what conditions, if any, the router uses the same
MAC address on more than one interface. Regarding the ProCurve routing switches, see the FAQ "Q:
What is the recommended way to connect multiple VLANs between a routing switch and a layer 2
switch?" on the ProCurve Web site.
