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
but it is not necessary to specifically identify to FTOS that the port is a trunk port, as described in
Chapter 18, VLAN Stacking, on page
374 | GARP VLAN Registration Protocol
Figure 17-2, that kind of port is referred to as a VLAN trunk port,
367.
