GVRP 
Introduction 
Figure 3-8.  Example of Preventing Specific Ports from Joining Dynamic VLANs 
Displaying the Static and Dynamic VLANs Active on the Switch.  The 
show vlans command lists all VLANs present in the switch. 
Syntax:  show vlans 
For example, in the following illustration, switch “B” has one static VLAN (the 
default VLAN), with GVRP enabled and port 1 configured to Learn for 
Unknown VLANs. Switch “A” has GVRP enabled and has three static VLANs: 
the default VLAN, VLAN-222, and VLAN-333. In this scenario, switch B will 
dynamically join VLAN-222 and VLAN-333: 
Switch “B” 
Switch “A” 
Port 1: Set to 
“Learn” Mode 
GVRP enabled. 
3 Static VLANs: 
GVRP enabled. 
1 Static VLANs: 
–  DEFAULT_VLAN 
–  DEFAULT_VLAN 
–  VLAN-222 
–  VLAN-333 
Figure 3-9.  Example of Switches Operating with GVRP Enabled 
The show vlans command lists the dynamic (and static) VLANs in switch “B” 
after it has learned and joined VLAN-222 and VLAN-333.
