Gvrp Parameters - D-Link DES-6300 User Manual

Modular L3 Ethernet Switch User's Guide
♦ To ensure the correct operation of the GVRP protocol, users are advised to set the maximum
number of GVRP VLANs equal to a value that significantly exceeds the sum of:
◊
The number of all static VLANs both currently configured and expected to be
configured.
◊
The number of all dynamic VLANs participating in GVRP both currently configured
(initial number of dynamic GVRP VLANs is 0) and expected to be configured.
Increasing the value of maximum number of GVRP VLANs to value beyond the sums, allows users to
run GVRP, and not reset the device to receive a larger amount of GVRP VLANs. For example, if 3 VLANs
exist and another two VLANs are expected to be configured as a result of VLAN static or dynamic
registration, set the maximum number of GVRP VLANs after reset to 10.
Note: To enable GVRP, ensure that the amount of maximum amount of VLANs is less than 4000. For
more information, see the Device Tuning section later in this manual.
To configure the GVRP feature:
1. Enable GVRP on a device.
2. Enable GVRP per port to participate in GVRP.
3. Specify the maximum number of GVRP VLANs after reset.
4. Reset the device to receive the new maximum number of GVRP VLANs set.
To increase the number of Maximum GVRP VLANs and to reconfigure the GVRP protocol:
1. Specify a new value of the maximum number of GVRP VLANs after reset.
2. Reset the device.
3. Check that the new value is displayed in the Max GVRP VLANs field.
For more information about configuring the Maximum number of GVRP VLANs and Maximum number
of GVRP VLANs after Reset fields, see the Device Tuning section later in this manual.
Consideration Concerning STP And GVRP Operation
The circulation of GARP/GVRP registration information follows through the Bridged LANs active
topology and it is assumed that the STP protocol is established and maintained.
Note: When operating in the STP per device mode with the Must belong to VLAN parameter set to
True, STP reacts to GVRP enabled on a port as if a VLAN was created on this port
Note: When operating in the STP per VLAN mode, every port that GVRP is enabled on is included into
a specifically reserved VLAN. This VLAN is established to ensure the GVRP proper operation.

GVRP Parameters

The GVRP Parameters window contains information about GVRP and whether GVRP is enabled on
specific ports. The GVRP Parameters window contains two tabs:
♦ Device Parameters – Indicates if GVRP is currently enabled on a device.
♦ Ports Parameters – Displays information about the individual ports and whether or not GVRP
is enabled on specific ports.
To display the GVRP Parameters window:
Select Device > GARP > GVRP > Parameters. The GVRP Parameters window opens. The GVRP
Parameters window has two tabs:
♦ Device Parameters – Displays the options enabling or disabling the GVRP on a device.
