clear host vlan
7-18 802.1Q VLAN Configuration
Usage
The host VLAN should be a secure VLAN where only designated users are allowed access. For
example, a host VLAN could be specifically created for device management. This would allow a
management station connected to the management VLAN to manage all ports on the device and
make management secure by preventing management via ports assigned to other VLANs.
Example
This example shows how to set VLAN 7 as the host VLAN:
G3(su)->set host vlan 7
clear host vlan
Use this command to reset the host VLAN to the default setting of 1.
Syntax
clear host vlan

None.
Defaults
None.
Mode
Switch command, read ‐ write.
Example
This example shows how to set the host VLAN to the default setting:

Enabling/Disabling GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol)
About GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP)
The following sections describe the device operation when its ports are operating under the
Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) application – GARP VLAN Registration Protocol
(GVRP).
Overview
The purpose of GVRP is to dynamically create VLANs across a switched network. When a VLAN
is declared, the information is transmitted out GVRP configured ports on the device in a GARP
formatted frame using the GVRP multicast MAC address. A switch that receives this frame,
examines the frame, and extracts the VLAN IDs. GVRP then creates the VLANs and adds the
Note: Before you can designate a VLAN as the host VLAN, you must create a VLAN using the set
of commands described in “Creating and Naming Static VLANs” on page 7-4 .
