Enabling MVRP over a port channel

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

   device# configure terminal

2. Enable MVRP globally on the device.
   

   device(config)# protocol mvrp
   

   This command accesses MVRP configuration mode.

   

   device(config-mvrp)#

3. Access global configuration mode.
   

   device(config-mvrp)# exit

4. Configure an Ethernet interface.
   

   device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1,2
   

   This command accesses interface configuration mode.

   

   device(conf-if-eth-0/1,2)#

5. Enable static link aggregation on the interface.
   

   device(conf-if-eth-0/1,2)# channel-group 10 mode on
   

6. Enable the interface.
   

   device(conf-if-eth-0/1,2)# no shutdown

7. Access global configuration mode.
   

   device(conf-if-eth-0/1,2)# exit

8. Configure the port-channel interface and access port-channel configuration mode.
   

   device(config)# interface Port-channel 10
   

9. Enable the port channel in Layer 2 mode.
   

   device(config-Port-channel-10)# switchport
   

10. Set trunk mode on the port channel.
    

    device(config-Port-channel-10)# switchport mode trunk
    

11. Enable MVRP on the port channel.
    

    device(config-Port-channel-10)# mvrp enable
    

12. Enable the port channel.
    

    device(config-Port-channel-10)# no shutdown
    

13. Display the MVRP status of the configuration.
    

    device(config-Port-channel-10)# do show mvrp
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Total configured mvrp ports     :       1
    Global Status                   :       Enabled
    Join-timer(in centiseconds)     :       20
    Leave-timer(in centiseconds)    :       100
    Leaveall-timer(in centiseconds) :       1000
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    MVRP Port(s): Po10
    

Example

The following example provides the steps in the previous configuration.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# protocol mvrp
device(config-mvrp)# exit
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1,2
device(conf-if-eth-0/1,2)# channel-group 10 mode on
device(conf-if-eth-0/1,2)# no shutdown
device(conf-if-eth-0/1,2)# exit
device(config)# interface Port-channel 10
device(config-Port-channel-10)# switchport
device(config-Port-channel-10)# switchport mode trunk
device(config-Port-channel-10)# mvrp enable
device(config-Port-channel-10)# no shutdown
device(config-Port-channel-10)# do show mvrp
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total configured mvrp ports     :       1
Global Status                   :       Enabled
Join-timer(in centiseconds)     :       20
Leave-timer(in centiseconds)    :       100
Leaveall-timer(in centiseconds) :       1000
