Example for Configuring GVRP

Networking Requirements

In Figure 1, company A, a branch of company A, and company B are connected using switches. The branch of company A wants to communicate with the headquarters (company A) through Device A and Device B. Company A users in VLANs 101 to 200 want to communicate with company B users in the same VLANs through Device B and Device C. To meet these requirements, GVRP must be enabled to implement dynamic VLAN registration.

Figure 1 Configuring GVRP

Interfaces 1 and 2 in this example represent GE 0/1/1 and GE 0/1/2, respectively.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Enable GVRP to implement dynamic VLAN registration.
Configure GVRP on all company A switches. Set the GVRP registration mode to Normal for the interfaces of company A switches.
Configure GVRP on all company B switches. Set the GVRP registration mode to Fixed for the interfaces connecting to company A so that only packets in the VLANs to which company B belongs can pass.

Verify the configuration.

After the configuration is complete, the branch of company A can communicate with the headquarters, and company A users in VLANs 101 to 200 can communicate with company B users in the same VLANs.

Run the display gvrp status command on Device A to check the status of global GVRP. The command output shows that GVRP is enabled globally.

[~DeviceA] display gvrp status
GVRP status: enabled.

Run the display gvrp statistics command on Device A to check GVRP information. The command output shows the GVRP status and registration mode of each interface, number of GVRP registration failures, and source MAC address of the last GVRP PDU.

[~DeviceA] display gvrp statistics
