The fields available on the MRP Configuration page vary based on the platform and its supported features.
MRP Configuration Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| MVRP | Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP) registers
VLANs in the network, enabling automatic VLAN configuration on the device. In a
typical network, VLAN tagging is common. Many nodes require ingress traffic to
be tagged with a specific VLAN ID, and other nodes require egress traffic to be
transmitted with a specific VLAN ID. With the use of MVRP on both ingress and
egress, no manual VLAN configuration is required to pass tagged traffic through
the network. Admin Mode: The administrative mode of MVRP on the device. Periodic State Machine: Select this option to enable the MRP Periodic State Machine for MVRP on the device. When enabled, the state machine can help limit the effect of topology changes and reduce the number of protocol data units (PDUs) transmitted between devices. |
| MMRP | Multiple MAC Registration Protocol (MMRP) allows the
propagation of MAC address information in the network, and allows for the
registration and deregistration of both individual MAC address information and
group MAC address membership. End stations may request to join or leave a
multicast group, or to register an individual MAC address with a specific VLAN.
MAC address entries can be dynamically registered and deregistered if MMRP is
administratively enabled on the device. Admin Mode: The administrative mode of MMRP on the device. Periodic State Machine: Select this option to enable the MRP Periodic State Machine for MMRP on the device. When enabled, the state machine can help limit the effect of topology changes and reduce the number of protocol data units (PDUs) transmitted between devices. |
| MSRP | Multiple Stream Reservation Protocol (MSRP) reserves
necessary resources in the network to facilitate the end-to-end flow of time
sensitive traffic. In a typical network, there are multiple Talkers (those who
transmit streams) and multiple Listeners (those who receive streams from one or
many Talkers). Each flow has specific bandwidth, frame rate, and time sync
requirements. With the use of MSRP these resources are guaranteed through all
intermediate devices that are between any Talker and Listener. Admin Mode: The administrative mode of MSRP on the device. Periodic State Machine: Select this option to enable the MRP Periodic State Machine for MSRP on the device. When enabled, the state machine can help limit the effect of topology changes and reduce the number of protocol data units (PDUs) transmitted between devices. |
| Talker Pruning | Select this option to enable MSRP Talker pruning. The MSRP Talker is the source of an AV stream. When enabled, Talker pruning stops MSRP declarations sent by the talker unless a Listener registers and requests them. |
| Boundary Propagation | Select this option to enable MSRP boundary propagation on the device. |
| Max Fan In Ports | The maximum number of ports where MSRP registrations are allowed. |
