When a port joins a VLAN by using GVRP, it is added to the VLAN as a dynamic
member, unless this was expressly forbidden in the Port VLAN Membership
page. If the VLAN does not exist, it is dynamically created when Dynamic VLAN
creation is enabled for this port (in the GVRP Settings page).
GVRP must be activated globally as well as on each port. When it is activated, it
transmits and receives GARP Packet Data Units (GPDUs). VLANs that are defined
but not active are not propagated. To propagate the VLAN, it must be up on at least
one port.
By default, GVRP is disabled globally and on ports.

Defining GVRP Settings

To define GVRP settings for an interface:
Click VLAN Management > GVRP Settings. The GVRP Settings page is

Select GVRP Global Status to enable GVRP globally.
Click Apply to set the global GVRP status.
Select an interface type (Port or LAG), and click Go to display all interfaces of that
type.
To define GVRP settings for a port, select it, and click Edit. The
page is displayed.

• Interface—Select the interface (Port or LAG) to be edited.
• GVRP State—Select to enable GVRP on this interface.
