Configuring an edge port

To ensure that the MVRPDU is not exchanged on the edge port, set the applicant state as non-participant on the port.

This procedure assumes that MVRP is enabled on the device.

Perform the following steps.

From privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
```
Configure an Ethernet interface and access interface configuration mode.
```
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
```
Enable MVRP on the interface.
```
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# mvrp enable
```
Configure the applicant mode of the interface to non-participant.
```
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# mvrp applicant-mode non-participant
```
The default applicant mode setting for this command is normal-participant.

Example

The following example are the steps in the previous configuration.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# mvrp enable
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# mvrp applicant-mode non-participant
