Enabling MVRP

This section describes how to enable MVRP.

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

MVRP can work with STP, RSTP, or MSTP, but not other link layer topology protocols, for example,
service loopback. Ports blocked by STP, RSTP, or MSTP can receive and send MVRP protocol packets.

For more information about service loopback, see "Configuring service loopback groups." For

more information about STP, RSTP, and MSTP, see "Configuring spanning tree protocols."

Do not enable both MVRP and remote port mirroring on a port. Otherwise, MVRP may register the
remote probe VLAN to incorrect ports, which would cause the monitor port to receive undesired

duplicates. For more information about port mirroring, see Network Management and Monitoring
Configuration Guide
.

Enabling MVRP on a Layer 2 aggregate interface enables both the aggregate interface and all
Selected member ports in the link aggregation group to participate in dynamic VLAN registration

and deregistration.

Configuration procedure

To enable MVRP:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view N/A

2.

Enable MVRP globally.

mvrp global enable

By default, MVRP is globally
disabled.
To enable MVRP on a port, first

enable MVRP globally.

3.

Enter interface view.

Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface
view or Layer 2 aggregate

interface view:

interface interface-type
interface-number

Enter port group view:

port-group manual
port-group-name

Use one of the commands.

4.

Configure the port to permit
the specified VLANs.

port trunk permit vlan { vlan-list |
all }

By default, a trunk port permits only
VLAN 1.
Make sure that the trunk port
permits all registered VLANs.
For more information about the
port trunk permit vlan command,

see Layer 2

LAN Switching

Command Reference.

5.

Enable MVRP on the port.

mvrp enable

By default, MVRP is disabled on a
port.
