In a network containing switches with both GVRP and MSTP enabled, GVRP
messages travel along the CIST. If you want to advertise a VLAN through GVRP, be
sure to map the VLAN to the CIST (MSTI 0) when configuring the VLAN-to-MSTI
mapping table. For detailed information of GVRP, refer to “GVRP Configuration”
on page 109.
