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. For further information, refer to GVRP and Network
Security on page 424.

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.

A change to GVRP port mode is immediately activated on a port.
