In a network containing switches with both GVRP and MSTP enabled, GVRP messages travel along
the CIST. If you want to advertise a VLAN through GVRP, be sure to map the VLAN to the CIST (MSTI
0) when configuring the VLAN-to-MSTI mapping table.
Configuration Prerequisites
The role (root, branch, or leaf) of each switch in each MSTI is determined.
