configure gvrp
ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide 315
configure gvrp
configure gvrp {listen | send | both | none} port <portlist>
Description
Configures the sending and receiving of Generic VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) information on a
port.
Syntax Description
Default
Both sending and receiving.
Usage Guidelines
GVRP must be enabled on the switch as a whole before GVRP data can be sent or received on
individual ports.
If GVRP is enabled,
send
causes information (GVRP packets) about tagged VLANS on the switch to be
sent on the specified ports, to neighboring GVRP-enabled switches.
If GVRP is enabled,
listen
means that the switch will receive and act on GVRP information it receives
on the specified ports, from neighboring GVRP-enabled switches.
Example
The following commands configure port 3 to receive GVRP information only (by default it can send and
listen) and then enables GVRP:
configure gvrp listen port 3
enable gvrp
If the switch receives GVRP information on this port, it will do one of the following:
• If a tagged VLAN already exists with a VLANid that matches the VLANid in the GVRP data, and
port 3 is not already a member of that VLAN, add it as a tagged port.
• If no VLAN exists with a VLANid that matches the VLANid in the GVRP data, create a VLAN with
the VLANid specified in the GVRP data, and add port 3 as a tagged member port.
