The page includes the following fields:
Object
Description
•
Port Select
Select port for this drop down list to assign protocol VLAN port
•
GVRP Enabled
Controls whether GVRP is enabled or disabled on port
•
Registration Mode
By default GVRP ports are in
Normal
registration mode. These ports use GVRP
join messages from neighboring switches to prune the VLANs running across the
802.1Q trunk link. If the device on the other side is not capable of sending GVRP
messages, or if you do not want to allow the switch to prune any of the VLANs,
use the
Fixed
mode. Fixed mode ports will forward for all VLANs that exist in the
switch database. Ports in
Forbidden
mode forward only for VLAN 1.
•
VLAN Creation
GVRP can dynamically create VLANs on switches for trunking purposes. By
enabling GVRP dynamic VLAN creation, a switch will add VLANs to its database
when it receives GVRP join messages about VLANs it does not have.
