M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches Manage the Multiple Registration Protocol Settings Like 802.1AS, Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) is an audio video bridging (AVB) feature that is available on some FASTPATH platforms. MVR is a base registration protocol that enables devices running an MRP application to register attributes to other devices in a network. MRP provides an application to register attributes such as bandwidth for a given AV stream and MAC address information. It is used by various applications to propagate the registration. Blade switches support the following MRP applications: • Multiple MAC Registration Protocol (MMRP). MMRP allows for the propagation MAC address information in the network, and allows for the registration and deregistration of both individual MAC address information and group MAC address membership. End stations can request to join or leave a multicast group, or to register an individual MAC address with a specific VLAN. MAC address entries can be dynamically registered and deregistered if MMRP is administratively enabled on the switch. • Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP). MVRP registers VLANs in the network, enabling automatic VLAN configuration on the switch. In a typical network, VLAN tagging is common. Many nodes require ingress traffic to be tagged with a specific VLAN ID, and other nodes require egress traffic to be transmitted with a specific VLAN ID. With the use of MVRP on both ingress and egress, no manual VLAN configuration is required to pass tagged traffic through the network. Note: MRP framework must be available and enabled in all intermediate devices to ensure that the propagation of the attributes occurs throughout the network. With MRP, network attributes are declared, registered, withdrawn, and removed completely dynamically without any user intervention. This dynamic nature is especially useful in networks where the following is true: - Network attributes are likely to change frequently, requiring reconfiguration of the intermediate devices. - Recipients of these attributes frequently increase or decrease in number. - Each of these changes without a dynamic self-adjusting framework would require constant attention from the network administrator.
