Configuring the Root Bridge 213
n
In a network containing switches with both GVRP and MSTP enabled, GVRP 
messages travel along the CIST. If you want to advertise a VLAN through GVRP, be 
sure to map the VLAN to the CIST (MSTI 0) when configuring the VLAN-to-MSTI 
mapping table. For detailed information of GVRP, refer to “GVRP Configuration” 
on page 109.
