GVRP
Introduction
As the preceding table indicates, when you enable GVRP, a port that has a
Tagged or Untagged static VLAN has the option for both generating advertise-
ments and dynamically joining other VLANs.
N o t e
In table 3-2, above, the Unknown VLAN parameters are configured on a per-
port basis using the CLI. The Tagged, Untagged, Auto, and Forbid options are
configured per static VLAN on every port, using either the menu interface or
the CLI.
Because dynamic VLANs operate as Tagged VLANs, and because a tagged port
on one device cannot communicate with an untagged port on another device,
ProCurve recommends that you use Tagged VLANs for the static VLANs you
will use to generate advertisements.
Block The port:
• Belongs to the specified VLAN.
• Advertises this VLAN.
• Will not become a member of
new dynamic VLANs for which
it receives advertisements.
• Will advertise dynamic VLANs
that have at least one other
port as a member.
The port:
• Will become a member of
specified VLAN if it receives
advertisements for this VLAN.
• Will advertise this VLAN.
• Will not become a member of
new dynamic VLANs for which
it receives advertisements.
• Will advertise dynamic VLANs
that have at least one other
port (on the same switch) as a
member.
The port:
• Will not become a member of
the specified VLAN.
• Will not advertise this VLAN.
• Will not become a member of
dynamic VLANs for which it
receives advertisements.
• Will advertise dynamic VLANs
that have at least one other
port (on the same switch) as a
member.
Disable The port:
• Is a member of the specified
VLAN.
• Will ignore GVRP PDUs.
• Will not join any advertised
VLANs.
• Will not advertise VLANs.
The port:
• Will not become a member of
the specified VLAN.
• Will ignore GVRP PDUs.
• Will not join any dynamic
VLANs.
• Will not advertise VLANs.
The port:
• Will not become a member of
this VLAN.
• Will ignore GVRP PDUs.
• Will not join any dynamic
VLANs.
• Will not advertise VLANs.

Each port on the switch must be a Tagged or Untagged member of at least one VLAN. Thus, any port configured for
GVRP to Learn or Block will generate and forward advertisements for static VLAN(s) configured on the switch and also
for dynamic VLANs the switch learns on other ports.

To configure tagging, Auto , or Forbid , see “Configuring Static VLAN Name and Per-Port Settings” on page 2-24 (for the
CLI) or “Adding or Changing a VLAN Port Assignment” on page 2-17 (for the menu).
