GVRP
GVRP Global Settings
Network > GVRP > Global Settings
The GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) allows network devices to share VLAN
information and to use the information to modify existing VLANs or create new VLANs,
automatically. This makes it easier to manage VLANs that span more than one switch.
Without GVRP, you have to manually configure your switches to ensure that the various
parts of the VLANs can communicate with each other across the different switches.
With GVRP, which is an application of the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol
(GARP), this is done for you automatically.
1. Log into your switch management page (see “Access your switch management page”
on page 5).
2. Click on Network, click on GVRP, and click on GVRP Global Settings.
3. Click the GVRP Status drop-down list and select Enabled to activate GVRP or disabled
to deactivate GVRP. Click Apply to save the settings.
4. At the bottom of the left-hand panel, click Save.
5. Select the Config you would like to save the settings to, click Save Settings to Flash,
then click OK.
Note: This step saves all configuration changes to the NV-RAM to ensure that if the
switch is rebooted or power cycled, the configuration changes will still be applied.
Port Settings
Network > GVRP > Port Settings
This section will allow you to select which ports will have GVRP enabled or will be
restricted from using GVRP.
1. Log into your switch management page (see “Access your switch management page”
on page 5).
2. Click on Network, click on GVRP and click on Port Settings.
3. Review the settings for each port. Click Apply to save the settings.
• Port - This parameter displays the ports on the switch.
• Dynamic Vlan Status - This parameter defines the GVRP status of the port.
From the Dynamic Vlan Status field, select one of the following choices from
the pull-down menu:
o Ignore - This parameter indicates that the setting in the All row does
not apply to the Dynamic Vlan Status field. In other words, each port
is set individually.
o Enable - The Dynamic Vlan is activated for the port row selected.
o Disable - The Dynamic Vlan is de-active for the port row selected.
• Restricted VLAN Registration - This parameter controls if the VLAN registration
on the port is restricted or not.
o Ignore - This parameter indicates that the setting in the All row does
not apply to the Restricted VLAN Registration field. In other words,
each port is set individually.
o Enable - The Restricted VLAN Registration is active for the port row
selected.
o Disable - The Restricted VLAN Registration is de-active for the port row
selected.
