To set the LeaveAll timer of port 1/2 to 30000 ms, enter the command as shown:
-> mvrp port 1/2 timer leaveall 30000
To set the Periodic timer of port 1/2 to 1 second, enter the command as shown:
-> mvrp port 1/2 timer periodic-timer 1
To view the timer value assigned to a particular port, use the
-> show mvrp port 1/2 timer
Join Timer (msec)
: 600,
Leave Timer (msec)
: 1800,
LeaveAll Timer (msec)
: 30000,
Periodic-Timer (sec)
: 1
Note.
Set the same MVRP timer value on all the connected devices.
Restricting VLAN Registration
Restricted VLAN registration restricts MVRP from dynamically registering specific VLAN or VLANs on
a switch. It decides whether VLANs can be dynamically created on a device or only be mapped to the
ports (if the VLANs are already statically created on the device).
By default, the dynamic VLAN registrations are not restricted and the VLAN can either be created on the
device or mapped to another port.
To restrict a VLAN from being dynamically learned on the device, you can configure the dynamic VLAN
registrations by using the
mvrp restrict-vlan-registration
command as shown:
-> mvrp port 1/1 restrict-vlan-registration vlan 4
Here, VLAN 4 cannot be learned by the device dynamically. However, if the VLAN exists on the device
as a static VLAN, it can be mapped to the receiving port.
To allow dynamic VLAN registrations on the port, use the no form of the
command as shown:
-> no mvrp port 1/1 restrict-vlan-registration vlan 4
Restricting Static VLAN Registration
Ports can be exempted from becoming members of statically created VLANs. To restrict a port from
becoming a member of a statically configured VLAN, use the
command as
shown:
-> mvrp port 1/9 static-vlan-restrict vlan 5
Note.
This command does not apply to dynamic VLANs.
Here, the port 1/9 is restricted from becoming a MVRP member of VLAN 5.
