Configuring MVRP

Procedure
  1. Enable MVRP globally on all interfaces or only for specific interfaces with the command mvp.
  2. By default, MVRP supports dynamic registration and deregistration of VLANs on all interface. If required, customize the behavior for each interface with the command mvrp registration.
  3. If required, adjust the MVRP timers from their default values with the command mvrp timer. To avoid frequent registrations and deregistrations, use the same MRP timer values throughout the network.
  4. Review your MVRP configuration settings with the commands show mvrp config, show mvrp state, and show mvrp statistics.

Example

This example creates the following configuration:

  • Enables MVRP on all interfaces.
  • Sets interface 1/1/1 to ignore VLAN 100. 
switch(config)# mvrp
switch(config)# interface 1/1/1
switch(config-if)# mvrp registration forbidden 100
switch(config-if)# mvrp
switch(config-if)# quit
switch# show mvrp config
Configuration and Status - MVRP
