Dynamic VLANs

If GVRP is enabled, meshed ports in a switch become members of any dynamic
VLANs created in the switch in the same way that they would if meshing was
not configured in the switch. (For more on GVRP, refer to chapter 3, "GVRP".)

Jumbo Packets (3400cl and 6400cl Switches Only)

If you enable jumbo traffic on any VLAN is a 3400cl or 6400cl switch, then all
meshed ports on the switch will be enabled to support jumbo traffic. (On a
given meshed switch, every meshed port becomes a member of every VLAN
configured on the switch.) If a port in a meshed domain does not belong to
any VLANs configured to support jumbo traffic, then the port drops any jumbo
packets it receives from other devices. In this regard, if a mesh domain
includes any HP ProCurve Series 5300xl switches and/or HP ProCurve 1600M/
2400M/2424M/4000M/8000M switches along with Series 3400cl and 6400cl
switches configured to support jumbo traffic, only the 3400cl and 6400cl
switches can transmit and receive jumbo packets. The other switch models in
the mesh will drop such packets. For more information on jumbo packets,
refer to the chapter titled "Port Traffic Controls" in the Management and
Configuration Guide for your switch.
