Enabling MVRP on an Ethernet interface

About this task

Perform the following steps to enable MVRP on an Ethernet interface.

Procedure

From privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode.
```
device# configure terminal
```
Add a VLAN on a device that will be added to the interface.
```
device(config)# vlan 10
```
This command accesses VLAN configuration mode.
```
device(config-vlan-10)#
```
Access global configuration mode.
```
device(config-vlan-10)# exit
```
Enable MVRP globally on the device.
```
device(config)# protocol mvrp 
```
This command accesses MVRP configuration mode.
```
device(config-mvrp)#
```
Access global configuration mode.
```
device(config-mvrp)# exit
```
Configure an Ethernet interface and access interface configuration mode.
```
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
```
Place the interface in Layer 2 mode.
```
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# switchport
```
Set the Layer 2 interface as trunk.
```
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# switchport mode trunk
```
Trunk mode makes the port linkable to other switches and routers.

Add the VLAN to the interface as tagged.

device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 10

Enable MVRP on the interface.
```
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# mvrp enable
```
Enable the interface.
```
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# no shutdown
```

Display the MVRP status of the configuration.

device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# do show mvrp
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total configured mvrp ports     :       1
Global Status                   :       Enabled

Leave-timer(in centiseconds)    :       100
Leaveall-timer(in centiseconds) :       1000

Example

The following example provides the steps in the previous configuration.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# vlan 10
device(config-vlan-10)# exit
device(config)# protocol mvrp
device(config-mvrp)# exit
device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# switchport
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# switchport mode trunk
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# switchport trunk allowed vlan add 10
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# mvrp enable
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# no shutdown
device(conf-if-eth-0/1)# do show mvrp
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total configured mvrp ports     :       1

Leave-timer(in centiseconds)    :       100
Leaveall-timer(in centiseconds) :       1000
