Configuring MVRP

Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) is an attribute registration protocol used to transmit attribute
messages.
Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP) is a typical MRP application. It synchronizes VLAN
information among devices.
MVRP propagates local VLAN information to other devices, receives VLAN information from other
devices, and dynamically updates local VLAN information. When the network topology changes, MVRP
propagates and learns VLAN information again according to the new topology.

MRP

MRP allows devices in the same LAN to transmit attribute messages on a per MSTI basis. For more
information about MSTI, see

MRP implementation

Each port that participates in an MRP application is called an "MRP participant." Similarly, a port that
participates in an MVRP application is called an "MVRP participant."
As shown in
participants by sending declarations and withdrawals, and registers and deregisters the attribute values
of other participants according to received declarations and withdrawals. MRP rapidly propagates the
configuration information of an MRP participant throughout the LAN.
Figure 49 MRP implementation
Taking VLAN registration and deregistration through MVRP (for example), MRP registers and deregisters
attributes as follows:
When a port receives a declaration for a VLAN, the port registers the VLAN and joins the VLAN.
•
When a port receives a withdrawal for a VLAN, the port deregisters the VLAN and leaves the
•
VLAN.
Figure 49 shows a simple MRP implementation on an MSTI. In a network with multiple MSTIs, MRP
performs attribute registration and deregistration on a per-MSTI basis.
"Configuring spanning tree
Figure 49, an MRP participant registers and deregisters its attribute values on other MRP
protocols."
