switchport gvrp enable no shutdown To inspect the interface configuration, use the show config command from INTERFACE mode or use the show gvrp interface command in EXEC or EXEC Privilege mode. Configure GVRP Registration Configure GVRP registration. There are two GVRP registration modes: • Fixed Registration Mode - figuring a port in fixed registration mode allows for manual creation and registration of VLANs, prevents VLAN deregistration, and registers all VLANs known on other ports on the port. For example, if an interface is statically configured via the CLI to belong to a VLAN, it should not be unconfigured when it receives a Leave PDU. Therefore, the registration mode on that interface is FIXED. • Forbidden Mode - Disables the port to dynamically register VLANs and to propagate VLAN information except information about VLAN 1. A port with forbidden registration type thus allows only VLAN 1 to pass through even though the PDU carries information for more VLANs. Therefore, if you do not want the interface to advertise or learn about particular VLANS, set the interface to the registration mode of FORBIDDEN. Based on the configuration in the following example, the interface 1/21 is not removed from VLAN 34 or VLAN 35 despite receiving a GVRP Leave message. Additionally, the interface is not dynamically added to VLAN 45 or VLAN 46, even if a GVRP Join message is received.

There are three GARP timer settings. • Join - A GARP device reliably transmits Join messages to other devices by sending each Join message two times. To define the interval between the two sending operations of each Join message, use this parameter. The default is 200ms. • Leave - When a GARP device expects to de-register a piece of attribute information, it sends out a Leave message and starts this timer. If a Join message does not arrive before the timer expires, the GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) 466
