In this example, a core device is attached to three edge devices. Each of the edge devices is
attached to other edge devices or host stations (represented by the clouds).
The effects of GVRP in this network depend on which devices the feature is enabled on, and
whether both learning and advertising are enabled. In this type of network (a core device and edge
devices), you can have the following four combinations:
•
•
•
•

Dynamic core and fixed edge

In this configuration, all ports on the core device are enabled to learn and advertise VLAN
information. The edge devices are configured to advertise their VLAN configurations on the ports
connected to the core device. GVRP learning is disabled on the edge devices.
