MVRP registration modes
The VLAN information propagated by MVRP includes not only locally, manually configured static VLAN
information but also dynamic VLAN information from other devices.
VLANs created manually, locally are called "static VLANs," and VLANs learned through MVRP are
called "dynamic VLANs." The following MVRP registration modes are available.
• Normal
An MVRP participant in normal registration mode performs dynamic VLAN registrations and
deregistrations, and sends declarations and withdrawals for dynamic and static VLANs.
• Fixed
An MVRP participant in fixed registration mode disables deregistering dynamic VLANs, sends
declarations for dynamic VLANs and static VLANs, and drops received MVRP protocol packets.
As a result, an MVRP participant port in fixed registration mode does not deregister or register
dynamic VLANs.
• Forbidden
An MVRP participant in forbidden registration mode disables registering dynamic VLANs, sends
declarations for dynamic VLANs and static VLANs, and drops received MVRP protocol packets.
As a result, an MVRP participant in forbidden registration mode does not register dynamic VLANs,
and does not re-register a dynamic VLAN when the VLAN is deregistered.

MVRP configuration task list
Task Remarks
Enabling MVRP Required.
Configuring the MVRP registration mode Optional.
Configuring MRP timers Optional.
Enabling GVRP compatibility Optional.
Configuration prerequisites
Before configuring MVRP, perform the following tasks:
• Make sure that all MSTIs in the network are effective and each MSTI is mapped to an existing VLAN
on each device in the network, because MVRP runs on a per-MSTI basis.
• Configure the involved ports as trunk ports, because MVRP is available only on trunk ports.
