MVRP configuration task list

Task

Enabling MVRP

Configuring the MVRP registration mode
Configuring MRP timers
Enabling GVRP compatibility

Configuration prerequisites

Before configuring MVRP, perform the following tasks:
•
Make sure that all MSTIs in the network are effective and each MSTI is mapped to an existing
VLAN on each device in the network, because MVRP runs on a per-MSTI basis.
•
Configure the involved ports as trunk ports, because MVRP is available only on trunk ports.
Enabling MVRP

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

•
MVRP can work with STP, RSTP, or MSTP, but not other link layer topology protocols, including
PVST, RRPP, and Smart Link. Ports blocked by STP, RSTP, or MSTP can receive and send
MVRP protocol packets. For more information about STP, RSTP, MSTP, and PVST, see
"Configuring spanning tree protocols." For more information about RRPP and Smart Link, see
High Availability Configuration Guide.
•
Do not enable both MVRP and remote port mirroring on a port. Otherwise, MVRP may register
the remote probe VLAN to incorrect ports, which would cause the monitor port to receive
undesired duplicates. For more information about port mirroring, see Network Management and
Monitoring Configuration Guide.
•
Enabling MVRP on a Layer 2 aggregate interface enables both the aggregate interface and all
Selected member ports in the link aggregation group to participate in dynamic VLAN
registration and deregistration.
