2.5.2 - Force10 Networks

1. Name switch R1, enable GVRP globally and on port 1/0/2, and enable the port:
Force10 (Config)#hostname R1
R1 (Config)#gvrp adminmode enable
R1 (Config)#interface 1/0/2
R1 (Interface 1/0/2)#no shutdown
R1 (Interface 1/0/2)#gvrp interfacemode enable
R1 (Interface 1/0/2)#exit
Figure 178 Enabling GVRP on Switch and Interface on Switch 1
2. Name switch R2, enable GVRP globally and on port 1/0/1, and enable the port. Create VLAN 3 and
add port 1/0/1 to it:
Force10 (Config)#hostname R2
R2 (Config)#gvrp adminmode enable
R2 (Config)#interface 1/0/1
R2 (Interface 1/0/1)#no shutdown
R2 (Interface 1/0/1)#gvrp interfacemode enable
R2 (Interface)#exit
R2 (Config)#interface vlan 3
R2 (conf-if-vl-vlan-3)#tagged 1/0/1
R2 (conf-if-vl-vlan-3)#exit

3. Use show vlan id 3 to verify the dynamically created VLAN:
(R1) #show vlan id 3
Codes: * - Default VLAN, G - GVRP VLANs, E - Ethernet interface
Vlan Id Status Q Ports
------- --------- - --------
G 3 Active T E 1/0/2
Figure 180 Using the show vlan id Command
Notes:
• The ‘G’ indicates that this VLAN was dynamically created via GVRP on R1.
• If you execute show vlan id 3 on R2, you will not see the G in the output, because the VLAN was
actually configured on R2, not dynamically negotiated.
• To make the VLAN permanent on R1, use the makestatic command under interface vlan 3.
Displaying GARP, GVRP, GMRP Properties
These Privileged Exec and User Exec mode commands display GARP, GVRP, and GMRP information:
• show garp (Figure 181)
— Displays admin mode for GVRP and GMRP
• show gmrp configuration {unit/slot/port | all}
• show gvrp configuration {unit/slot/port | all} (Figure 181)
— Port admin mode for GVRP and GMRP
— Timer values
