Enabling GVRP causes “No” to display as “Auto”.

Parameter  Effect on Port Participation in Designated VLAN 
Tagged 
Allows the port to join multiple VLANs. 
Untagged 
Allows VLAN connection to a device that is configured for an untagged 
VLAN instead of a tagged VLAN.  A port can be an untagged member of 
only one port-based VLAN. A port can also be an untagged member of only 
one protocol-based VLAN for any given protocol type. For example, if the 
switch is configured with the default VLAN plus three protocol-based 
VLANs that include IPX, then port 1 can be an untagged member of the 
default VLAN and one of the protocol-based VLANS. 
No 
No
: Appears when the switch is not GVRP-enabled; prevents the port from 
- or -
joining that VLAN. 
Auto 
Auto: Appears when GVRP is enabled on the switch; allows the port to 
dynamically join any advertised VLAN that has the same VID 
Forbid 
Prevents the port from joining the VLAN, even if GVRP is enabled on the 
switch.
