Black Box LEV2525A - Planning for GVRP Operation; Configuring GVRP on a Switch; Enabling and Disabling GVRP on the Switch

For example, suppose a dynamic VLAN with a VID of 10 exists on the switch.
The following command converts the VLAN to a static VLAN.
LE2425A(gvrp)# static vlan=10
Once dynamic Vlan converted into static, it needs to configure as a normal static Vlan.
LE2425A(gvrp)# show-vlan
17.7 Planning for GVRP Operation
These steps outline the procedure for setting up dynamic VLANs for a segment.
1. Determine the VLAN topology you want for each segment (broadcast domain) on your network.
2. Determine the VLANs that must be static and the VLANs that can be dynamically propagated.
3. Determine the device or devices on which you must manually create static VLANs in order to
propagate VLANs throughout the segment.
4. Determine security boundaries and how the individual ports in the segment will handle dynamic
VLAN advertisements. (See tables above.)
5. Enable GVRP on all devices you want to use with dynamic VLANs and configure the appropriate
“Unknown VLAN” parameter (Learn, Block, or Disable) for each port.
6. Configure the static VLANs on the switch(es) where they are needed, along with the per-VLAN
parameters (Tagged, Untagged, and Forbid—see table on the appropriate ports.
7. Dynamic VLANs will then appear automatically, according to the configuration options you have
chosen.
8. Convert dynamic VLANs to static VLANs where you want dynamic VLANs to become
permanent.
17.8 Configuring GVRP On a Switch
The procedures in this section describe how to:
View the GVRP configuration on a switch
Enable and disable GVRP on a switch
Specify how individual ports will handle advertisements
To view or configure static VLANs for GVRP operation, refer to “Port-Based Virtual LANs (Static
VLANs)”
CLI: Viewing and Configuring GVRP
Displaying the Switch’s Current GVRP Configuration.
This command shows whether GVRP is disabled, along with the current settings for the maximum
number of VLANs and the current Primary VLAN. (For more on the last two parameters, see “Port-
Based Virtual LANs (Static VLANs)” )
Syntax: show gvrp
LE2425A#show gvrp
GVRP Status : Enabled
17.9 Enabling and Disabling GVRP on the Switch.
This command enables GVRP on the switch.
Syntax: gvrp <enable/disable>
LE2425A(gvrp)##gvrp enable
GVRP enabled
LE2425A(gvrp)##gvrp disable
GVRP is now disabled
