Dynamic core and dynamic edge

In this configuration, the core and edge devices have no statically configured VLANs and are
enabled to learn and advertise VLANs. The edge and core devices learn the VLANs configured on
the devices in the edge clouds. To enable GVRP on all the ports, enter the following command on
each edge device and on the core device.
PowerConnect> enable
PowerConnect#configure terminal
PowerConnect(config)#gvrp-enable
PowerConnect(config-gvrp)#enable all

Fixed core and dynamic edge

In this configuration, GVRP learning is enabled on the edge devices. The VLANs on the core device
are statically configured, and the core device is enabled to advertise its VLANs but not to learn
VLANs. The edge devices learn the VLANs from the core.
Enter the following commands on the core device.
PowerConnect> enable
PowerConnect#configure terminal
PowerConnect(config)#vlan 20
PowerConnect(config-vlan-20)#tag ethernet 1/24

These VLAN commands configure VLANs 20, 30, 40, and 50. The GVRP commands enable the
protocol on the ports that are connected to the edge devices, and disable VLAN learning on those
ports. All the VLANs are advertised by GVRP.
Enter the following commands on edge devices A, B, and C.
PowerConnect> enable
PowerConnect#configure terminal
PowerConnect(config)#gvrp-enable
PowerConnect(config-gvrp)#enable all
