ProLiant BL p-Class GbE Interconnect Switch Command Line Interface Reference Guide

Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Command Line Interface
The GbE Interconnect Switch provides oprions to enable or disable GVRP capability. If an
802.1Q tagged VLAN is enabled, but the GVRP is disabled, the only VLAN feature is static
VLAN registration entries. HP recommends backing up static VLAN register entries to the
configuration file.
If ingress filtering is enabled then the port will discard any frame received on that port whose
VLAN classification does not include that port in its member set.
The following shows the GVRP factory default setting:
