Features
Converting a Dynamic VLAN to a Static VLAN. If a port on the switch
has joined a dynamic VLAN, you can use the following command to convert
that dynamic VLAN to a static VLAN:
Syntax: static <dynamic-vlan-id>
For example, to convert dynamic VLAN 333 (from the previous example) to a
static VLAN:
HP2512(config)# static 333

GVRP Operating Notes
â– A dynamic VLAN must be converted to a static VLAN before it can have
an IP address.
â– Converting a dynamic VLAN to a static VLAN and then executing the write
memory command saves the VLAN in the startup-config file and makes it
a permanent part of the switch’s VLAN configuration.
â– Within the same broadcast domain, a dynamic VLAN can pass through a
device that is not GVRP-aware. This is because a hub or a switch that is
not GVRP-ware will flood the GVRP (multicast) advertisement packets
out all ports.
â– GVRP assigns dynamic VLANs as Tagged VLANs. To configure the VLAN
as Untagged, you must first convert it to a static VLAN.
â– Rebooting a switch on which a dynamic VLAN exists deletes that VLAN.
However, the dynamic VLAN re-appears after the reboot if GVRP is
enabled and the switch again receives advertisements for that VLAN
through a port configured to add dynamic VLANs.
