Each port of the switch must be a Tagged or Untagged member of at least one VLAN. Thus, any port configured for GVRP

to Learn or Block will generate and forward advertisements for static VLAN(s) configured on the switch and also for
dynamic VLANs the switch learns on other ports.

To configure tagging, Auto, or Forbid, see “Configuring Static VLAN Per-Port Settings” on page 2-43 (for the CLI) or

“Adding or Changing a VLAN Port Assignment” on page 2-28 (for the menu).
