Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Menu-driven Interface
Configuring GVRP
This section describes how to configure GVRP on a per port basis. For information on how to
set GVRP globally on the GbE Interconnect Switch, refer to the “Configuring Advanced GbE
Interconnect Switch Features” section earlier in this chapter.
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is a Generic Attribute Registration Protocol
(GARP) application that provides 802.1Q-compliant VLAN pruning and dynamic VLAN
creation on 802.1Q tagged ports.
GVRP updates dynamic VLAN registration entries and communicates the new VLAN
registration information across the network. This feature allows stations to physically move to
other GbE Interconnect Switch ports and keep their original VLAN settings, without having
to reconfigure the VLAN settings on the GbE Interconnect Switch.
With GVRP, the GbE Interconnect Switch can
•
•
•
Exchange VLAN configuration information with other GVRP switches.
Prune unnecessary broadcast and unknown unicast traffic.
Dynamically create and manage VLANs on switches connected through 802.1Q tagged
ports.
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.
