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.

1. From privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode.
   

   device# configure terminal

2. Configure an Ethernet interface and access interface configuration mode.
   

   device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
   

3. Enable MVRP on the interface.
   

   device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# mvrp enable
   

4. 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.

   

   Note

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

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
