On the E-Series, C-Series, and non-S60/S55/S4810 S-Series, Per-VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST+) or

MSTP and GVRP cannot be enabled at the same time, as shown in the example below. If Spanning

Tree and GVRP are both required, implement RSTP. The S60, S55, and S4810 systems do support

enabling GVRP and MSTP at the same time.

Configuring GVRP

Globally, enable GVRP on each switch to facilitate GVRP communications. Then, GVRP configuration is

per interface on a switch-by-switch basis. Enable GVRP on each port that connects to a switch where you

want GVRP information exchanged. In the illustration below, that type of port is referred to as a VLAN

trunk port, but it is not necessary to specifically identify to FTOS that the port is a trunk port.
