Configuring MMRP
21
• The registration services offered by MAD to allow Group membership, Group service
requirement, and individual MAC address information to control the frame filtering behavior of
participating devices.
Figure 208 illustrates the architecture of MMRP in the case of a two-Port Bridge and an end
station, for a given VLAN Context. Where MMRP is used in multiple VLAN Contexts, an instance of
the MMRP Participant exists for each VLAN context.
As shown in the diagram, the MMRP Participant consists of the following components:
• The MMRP application
• MRP Attribute Propagation
• MRP Attribute Declaration
FIGURE 208 MMRP components
Enabling MVRP at global level
MMRP must be enabled globally to allow the device to participate in the MMRP (IEEE 802.1ak)
protocol.
Brocade(config)# mmrp enable
Syntax: [no] mmrp enable
MMRP is disabled by default.
MMRP include-vlan configuration
The mmrp include-vlan command is used to configure a set of VLANs on which MMRP is allowed to
participate. The global configuration is applicable to all the MMRP enabled ports unless an explicit
configuration is made on the port.
Brocade(config)# mmrp include-vlan 500 600 700
Syntax: [no] mmrp include-vlan vlan id or range
By default, no VLANs are included. Only 256 B-VLANs are allowed to participate in MMRP. The
range of values available is 1-4090.
