Configuring Universal Network Profiles UNP Overview

D. Tagged Packets with Trust VLAN Tag Enabled
Tagged packets are processed as follows when initial classification returns a UNP profile that exists but
the VLAN associated with the profile does not exist in the switch configuration:
1
In a multi-chassis link aggregation (MCLAG) configuration, after the MVRP VLAN is converted to a
UNP dynamic VLAN in the local chassis, a request is sent to the peer chassis to convert the same VLAN
to a UNP dynamic VLAN. In this case, the remote chassis will do following:
• If there is no profile with this advertised VLAN, then the request to convert is dropped.
• If there is a profile with this advertised VLAN but the VLAN doesn't exist, then the VLAN is created
as a UNP dynamic VLAN.
• If there is a profile with this advertised VLAN and the VLAN type is MVRP, this VLAN is converted
to a UNP dynamic VLAN.
