Protocol Based VLAN TableDefining Protocol Ports Using CLI CommandsThe following table summarizes the equivalent CLI command for defining Protocol Ports.Table 7-31. Protocol Port CLI CommandsThe following example sets a protocol-based classification rule of protocol group 1 to VLAN 8:Configuring GVRP ParametersGARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is specifically provided for automatic distribution of VLANmembership information among VLAN-aware bridges. GVRP allows VLAN-aware bridges toautomatically learn VLANs to bridge ports mapping, without having to individually configure eachbridge and register VLAN membership.To ensure the correct operation of the GVRP protocol, it is advised to set the maximum number ofGVRP VLANs equal to a value which significantly exceeds the sum of:• The number of all static VLANs both currently configured and expected to be configured.• The number of all dynamic VLANs participating in GVRP, both currently configured (initial number ofdynamic GVRP VLANs is 128) and expected to be configured.CLI Command Descriptionswitchport general mapprotocols-group groupvlan vlan-idSets a protocol-based classification rule.Console (config-if)# switchport general map protocols-group 1vlan 8
