When a port joins a VLAN by using GVRP, it is added to the VLAN as a tagged dynamic
member, unless this was expressly forbidden in the Port VLAN Membership page. If the
VLAN does not exist, it is dynamically created when Dynamic VLAN creation is enabled for
this port (in the GVRP Settings page).
GVRP must be activated globally as well as on each port. When it is activated, it transmits and
receives GARP Packet Data Units (GPDUs). VLANs that are defined but not active are not
propagated. To propagate the VLAN, it must be up on at least one port.
By default, GVRP is disabled globally and on ports.
