mvrp applicant-mode

Configures the MVRP applicant mode on the MVRP-enabled interface as normal-participant to enable the transmission of MVRP data units (MVRPDUs) or non-participant to disable the transmission of MVRPDUs; ensuring that no PDU exchange occurs on the port. The non-participant configuration is recommended on an MVRP-enabled edge port to avoid sending VLAN advertisements to the connected edge device.

Syntax

mvrp applicant-mode { normal-participant | non-participant }

no mvrp applicant-mode

Command Default

The default setting is normal-participant.

Parameters

normal-participant: Configures the port as a normal participant.
non-participant: Configures the port as a non participant.

Modes

Interface configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

MVRP is supported only on devices based on the DNX chipset family. For a list of such devices, see "Supported Hardware".

Use the no form of this command or the normal-participant keyword to reset the default setting of normal-participant.

Before configuring this command, you must configure the interface as switchport and enable MVRP globally on the device and on the interface to allow the MVRP-enabled interface to participate in the protocol.

Examples

The following example configures the edge port as non-participant.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# protocol mvrp
device(config-mvrp)# exit
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/15
device(conf-if-eth-0/15)# switchport
device(conf-if-eth-0/15)# mvrp enable
device(conf-if-eth-0/15)# mvrp applicant-mode non-participant
