Fixed
•
An MVRP participant in fixed registration mode disables deregistering dynamic VLANs, sends
declarations for dynamic VLANs and static VLANs, and drops received MVRP protocol packets.
As a result, an MVRP participant port in fixed registration mode does not deregister or register
dynamic VLANs.
Forbidden
•
An MVRP participant in forbidden registration mode disables registering dynamic VLANs, sends
declarations for dynamic VLANs and static VLANs, and drops received MVRP protocol packets.
As a result, an MVRP participant in forbidden registration mode does not register dynamic VLANs,
and does not re-register a dynamic VLAN when the VLAN is deregistered.

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.

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.
