HOW IT WORKS
In
Figure A-1
, Switch 4, port 1 is registered as being a member of VLAN Blue and then declares
this fact out all its ports (2 and 3) to Switch 1 and Switch 2. These two switches register this in the
Port VLAN Lists of the ports (Switch 1, port 1 and Switch 2, port 1) that received the frames with
the information. Switch 2, which is connected to Switch 3 and Switch 5 declares the same
information to those two switches and the Port VLAN List of each port is updated with the new
information, accordingly.
Figure A-1
Example of VLAN Propagation via GVRP
Configuring a VLAN on an 802.1Q switch creates a static GVRP entry. The entry will always
remain registered and will not time out. However, dynamic entries will time-out and their
registrations are removed from the member list if the end station A is removed. This ensures that if
switches are disconnected, or if end stations are removed, the registered information remains
accurate.
The end result is that the Port VLAN List of a port is updated with information about VLANs that
reside off that port, even if the actual station on the VLAN is several hops away.
