Each port of a Series 5300XL switches must be a Tagged or Untagged member of at least one VLAN. Thus, any port
configured for GVRP to Learn or Block will generate and forward advertisements for static VLAN(s) configured on the
switch and also for dynamic VLANs the switch learns on other ports..

To configure tagging, Auto, or Forbid, see “Configuring Static VLAN Name and Per-Port Settings” on page 11-20 (for the
CLI) or “Adding or Changing a VLAN Port Assignment” on page 11-13 (for the menu).
