Enabling or Disabling GVRP on a Port

This procedure enables and disables GVRP on a switch port. The default
setting for GVRP on a port is enabled. Only those ports where GVRP is
enabled transmit PDUs.

Note

Allied Telesyn recommends disabling GVRP on unused ports and
those ports that are connected to GVRP-inactive devices. This will
protect against unauthorized access to restricted areas of your
network.

1. From the Home Page, select Configuration.

2. Select the Layer 2 menu selection.

3. Select the GVRP tab.

The GVRP tab is shown in Figure 103 on page 283.

4. Click the port you want to configure in the graphic image of the

switch. A selected port turns white. To deselect a port, click it again.
You can configure more than one port at a time.

5. Click Modify.

The GVRP Port Configuration page is shown in Figure 104.

6. Change the port mode if desired.

A setting of Normal means the port processes and propagates
GVRP information. This is the default setting. A setting of None
prevents the port from processing GVRP information and from
transmitting PDUs.

7. Click Apply.

The change to the GVRP port mode is activated on the port.

8. To permanently save the change, select the Save Config menu

selection.
