Configuring GVRP Configuring GVRP

To allow dynamic VLAN registrations on the port, use the no form of the gvrp restrict-vlan-registration
command as shown:
-> no gvrp restrict-vlan-registration port 3/1 4
Restricting Static VLAN Registration
Ports can be exempted from becoming members of statically created VLANs. To restrict a port from
becoming a member of a statically configured VLAN, use the gvrp static-vlan restrict command as
shown:
-> gvrp static-vlan restrict port 1/2 5
Note. This command does not apply to dynamic VLANs.
Here, the port 1/2 is restricted from becoming a GVRP member of VLAN 5.
To restrict a port from becoming a member of a range of statically created VLANs, enter the
gvrp static-vlan restrict command as shown:
-> gvrp static-vlan restrict port 1/2 5-9
Here, port 1/2 is restricted from becoming a GVRP member of VLANs 5 to 9.
A port can be allowed to become a member of statically created VLANs using the no form of the
gvrp static-vlan restrict command. To allow port 3/1 to become a member of a statically created VLAN,
enter the command as shown:
-> no gvrp static-vlan restrict 3/1
Restricting VLAN Advertisement
VLANs learned by a switch through GVRP can either be propagated to other switches or be blocked. This
helps prune VLANs that have no members on a switch. If the applicant mode is set to participant or
active, you can use the gvrp restrict-vlan-advertisement command to restrict the propagation of VLAN
information on a specified port as shown:
-> gvrp restrict-vlan-advertisement port 3/1 4
Here, VLAN 4 is not allowed to propagate on port 1 of slot 3.
To enable the propagation of dynamic VLANs on the specified port, use the no form of the command. To
restrict VLAN 4 from being propagated to port 3/1, enter the command as shown:
-> no gvrp restrict-vlan-advertisement port 3/1 4
