Dynamic Core And Fixed Edge - Dell PowerConnect B-FCXs Configuration Manual

Dynamic core and fixed edge

In this configuration, the edge devices advertise their statically configured VLANs to the core
device. The core device does not have any statically configured VLANs but learns the VLANs from
the edge devices.
Enter the following commands on the core device.
PowerConnect> enable
PowerConnect#configure terminal
PowerConnect(config)#gvrp-enable
PowerConnect(config-gvrp)#enable all
These commands globally enable GVRP support and enable the protocol on all ports.
Enter the following commands on edge device A.
PowerConnect> enable
PowerConnect#configure terminal
PowerConnect(config)#vlan 20
PowerConnect(config-vlan-20)#untag ethernet 2/1
PowerConnect(config-vlan-20)#tag ethernet 4/24
PowerConnect(config-vlan-20)#vlan 40
PowerConnect(config-vlan-40)#untag ethernet 2/1
PowerConnect(config-vlan-40)#tag ethernet 4/24
PowerConnect(config-vlan-40)#exit
PowerConnect(config)#gvrp-enable
PowerConnect(config-gvrp)#enable ethernet 4/24
PowerConnect(config-gvrp)#block-learning ethernet 4/24
These commands statically configure two port-based VLANs, enable GVRP on port 4/24, and block
GVRP learning on the port. The device will advertise the VLANs but will not learn VLANs from other
devices.
Enter the following commands on edge device B.
