GVRP configuration
Syntax: [no] gvrp-max-leaveall-timer <ms>
The <ms> parameter specifies the maximum number of ms to which you can set the Leaveall timer.
You can specify from 300000 – 1000000 (one million) ms. The value must be a multiple of 100
ms. The default is 300000 ms.
Enabling GVRP
To enable GVRP, enter commands such as the following at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
Brocade(config)#gvrp-enable
Brocade(config-gvrp)#enable all
The first command globally enables support for the feature and changes the CLI to the GVRP
configuration level. The second command enables GVRP on all ports on the device.
The following command enables GVRP on ports 1/24, 2/24, and 4/17.
Brocade(config-gvrp)#enable ethernet 1/24 ethernet 2/24 ethernet 4/17
Syntax: [no] gvrp-enable
Syntax: [no] enable all | ethernet <port> [ethernet <port> | to <port>]
The all keyword enables GVRP on all ports.
ethernet <port> specifies a port. Specify the port variable in one of the following formats:
• FWS, FCX, and ICX stackable switches – stack-unit/slotnum/portnum
• FSX 800 and FSX 1600 chassis devices – slotnum/portnum
• ICX devices – slotnum/portnum
• FESX compact switches – portnum
To specify a list of ports, enter each port as ethernet <port> followed by a space. For example,
ethernet 1/24 ethernet 6/24 ethernet 8/17
To specify a range of ports, enter the first port in the range as ethernet <port> followed by the last
port in the range. For example, ethernet 1/1 to 1/8.
You can combine lists and ranges in the same command. For example: enable ethernet 1/1 to 1/8
ethernet 1/24 ethernet 6/24 ethernet 8/17.
Disabling VLAN advertising
To disable VLAN advertising on a port enabled for GVRP, enter a command such as the following at
the GVRP configuration level.
Brocade(config-gvrp)#block-applicant ethernet 1/24 ethernet 6/24 ethernet 8/17
This command disables advertising of VLAN information on ports 1/24, 6/24, and 8/17.
Syntax: [no] block-applicant all | ethernet <port> [ethernet <port> | to <port>]
NOTE
Leaveall messages are still sent on the GVRP ports.
The all keyword disables VLAN advertising on all ports enabled for GVRP.
