Per-Port Options for Dynamic VLAN
Advertising and Joining
Initiating Advertisements. As described in the preceding section, to
enable dynamic joins, GVRP must be enabled and a port must be configured
to Learn (the default). However, to send advertisements in your network, one
or more static (Tagged, Untagged, or Auto) VLANs must be configured on one
or more switches (with GVRP enabled), depending on your topology.
Enabling a Port for Dynamic Joins. You can configure a port to dynami-
cally join a static VLAN. The join will then occur if that port subsequently
receives an advertisement for the static VLAN. (This is done by using the Auto
and Learn options described in table 2-2, on the next page.
Parameters for Controlling VLAN Propagation Behavior. You can con-
figure an individual port to actively or passively participate in dynamic VLAN
propagation or to ignore dynamic VLAN (GVRP) operation. These options are
controlled by the GVRP “Unknown VLAN” and the static VLAN configuration
parameters, as described in the following table:
