Defining GVRP
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is specifically provided for automatic
distribution of VLAN membership information among VLAN-aware bridges. GVRP
allows VLAN-aware bridges to automatically learn VLANs to bridge ports mapping,
without having to individually configure each bridge and register VLAN membership.
To define the GVRP parameters on the device:
1. Click Layer 2 > VLAN > GVRP Parameters. The GVRP Parameters Page
opens:
Figure 53. GVRP Parameters Page
The GVRP Parameters Page is divided into Port and LAG parameters. The field
definitions are the same. The GVRP Parameters Page contains the following fields:
• GVRP Global Status — Indicates if GVRP is enabled on the device. The possible
field values are:
— Enable — Enables GVRP on the device.
— Disable — Disables GVRP on the device.
• Ports — Displays the Port GVRP settings.
• LAGs — Displays the LAG GVRP settings.
• Interface — Displays the port or LAG on which GVRP is enabled.
