MVRP Overview

Switch A
Static VLAN: 10, 20, 30
Dynamic VLAN
Switch A has 3 VLANs configured as static VLANs (10, 20, and 30). Other switches on the same network
learn these 3 VLANs as dynamic VLANs. Also, the end station connected on port 5 is statically
configured for VLAN 50. Port 1 on Switch A is manually configured for VLANs 10, 20, and 30. All the
ports are in the same Spanning tree instance and are in forwarding state. Hence, as the

Port 1 on Switch A advertises VLAN IDs (VIDs) 10, 20, and 30.
2
Port 2 on Switch B receives the advertisements. VLANs 10, 20, and 30 are created as VLANs on this
Switch B and Port 2 become a member of VLANs 10, 20, and 30.
3
Port 3 on Switch B is triggered to advertise VLANs 10, 20, and 30, but does not become a member of
these VLANs.
4
Port 4 on Switch C receives the advertisements. VLANs 10, 20, and 30 are created as VLANs on
Switch C and Port 4 become a member of VLANs 10, 20, and 30.
5
Port 5 advertises VLANs 10, 20, and 30, but this port is not a member of these VLANs.
Note. Default VLAN (VLAN 1) exists on all switches, but it is not considered here.
The configuration sequence of advertisements and registration of VLANs results in the following
configuration.

Here, the end station advertises itself as a member of VLAN 50. As the
