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

This feature is supported on the SLX 9250, SLX 9540, SLX 9640, SLX 9740, Extreme 8520, and Extreme 8820 devices.

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
