Chapter 18 Configuring MVRP
Default MVRP Configuration
Default MVRP Configuration
Table 18-1 shows the default MVRP configuration.
MVRP Configuration Guidelines
When configuring MVRP, follow these guidelines:
• GVRP must be disabled globally and on a per-port basis.
• You can configure MVRP only on the trunk ports.
• You must enable MVRP on both ends of a trunk link.
• The switch should not have any PVLAN configuration.
• The MVRP registration mode for VLAN 1 is always fixed and is not configurable.
• When VTP pruning is enabled, it interoperates with MVRP on all the MVRP-enabled trunk ports.
Scalability Data for MVRP
• On a Catalyst 6500 series switch with Supervisor Engine 720, that runs software release 8.7(3), the
switch supports the following within an optimal operational CPU utilization:
–
MVRP pruning for 4094 VLANs on 6 trunks/channels.
–
MVRP pruning for 2500 VLANs on 11 trunks/channels
The default timer values are Join- 20 Centi-seconds, Leave-150 Centi-seconds, and Leave All-6000
Centi-seconds.
Caution Increase in number of VLANs and decreased timer values from the set default, results in high CPU
utilization
