Configuring MVRP on the Switch
Enabling MVRP Dynamic VLAN Creation
You can enable MVRP dynamic VLAN creation only if these conditions are met:
• The switch is in VTP transparent or off mode.
• The switch does not have any PVLAN configuration.
If you enable dynamic VLAN creation, these configuration restrictions are imposed:
• You cannot change the switch to VTP server or client mode.
• When PVLAN information (primary and secondary) from VTPv3 is received, MVRP creates it as
normal VLAN.
Note VLANs can only be created dynamically on 802.1ak trunks in the normal registration mode.
To enable MVRP dynamic VLAN creation on the switch, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to enable dynamic VLAN creation on the switch:
Console> (enable) set mvrp dynamic-vlan-creation enable
MVRP Dynamic VLAN creation is enabled.
Console> (enable)
Configuring MVRP Registration
These sections describe how to configure MVRP registration modes on switch ports:
• Configuring MVRP Normal Registration, page 18-5
• Configuring MVRP Fixed Registration, page 18-6
• Configuring MVRP Forbidden Registration, page 18-6
Configuring MVRP Normal Registration
Configuring an 802.1ak trunk port in normal registration mode responds to all MVRP requests and
messages, while retaining all registrations and deregistrations on the trunk port. Normal mode is the
default.
To configure MVRP normal registration on a trunk port, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task Command
Step 1
Enable dynamic VLAN creation on the switch. set mvrp dynamic-vlan-creation enable
Step 2
Verify the configuration. show mvrp configuration
Task Command
Step 1
Configure normal registration on an 802.1ak
trunk port.
set port mvrp mod/port registration normal
Step 2
Verify the configuration. show mvrp configuration
