6. Select the MVRP Mode Enable or Disable radio button.
This specifies the global administrative mode of MVRP on the device. The default is
Disable.
Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP) registers VLANs in the network, enabling
automatic VLAN configuration on the device. In a typical network, VLAN tagging is
common. Many nodes require ingress traffic to be tagged with a specific VLAN ID, and
other nodes require egress traffic to be transmitted with a specific VLAN ID. With the use
of MVRP on both ingress and egress, no manual VLAN configuration is required to pass
tagged traffic through the network.
7. Select the MMRP Enable or Disable radio button.
This specifies the global administrative mode of MMRP on the device. The default is
Disable.
Multiple MAC Registration Protocol (MMRP) allows the propagation of MAC address
information in the network, and allows for the registration and deregistration of both
individual MAC address information and group MAC address membership. End stations
can request to join or leave a multicast group, or to register an individual MAC address
with a specific VLAN. MAC address entries can be dynamically registered and
deregistered if MMRP is administratively enabled on the device.
8. Select the Periodic State Machine (MVRP) Enable or Disable radio button.
When enabled, the state machine can help limit the effect of topology changes and
reduce the number of protocol data units (PDUs) transmitted between devices. The
default is Disable.
