XOS 15.7.1.4 mvrp between BD8806 and SUMMIT X460-G2-48t-10GE4

[Antonio_Prado]

Hi,

just testing mvrp between

3 SUMMIT X460-G2-48t-10GE4 configured as a stack
and
1 BD8806 MSM-48c 10G8Xc

The Summit X stack is connected to BD8806 via a 10GE port.

On the BD8806:
create vlan test
configure test tag 500
configure vlan test add ports 6:2 tagged
configure mvrp tag 500 ports 6:2 registration normal
configure mvrp tag 500 ports 6:2 transmit on
configure mvrp vlan auto-creation on
configure mvrp vlan registration normal
enable mvrp ports 6:2
enable mvrpOn the SUMMIT X stack:
create vlan test
configure test tag 500
configure vlan test add ports 2:49 tagged
configure mvrp tag 500 ports 2:49 registration normal
configure mvrp tag 500 ports 2:49 transmit on
configure mvrp vlan auto-creation on
configure mvrp vlan registration normal
enable mvrp ports 2:49
enable mvrp
create vlan mvrptest
configure mvrptest tag 200
configure vlan mvrptest add ports 2:49 tagged
However, a show vlan on BD8806 doesn't show mvrptest.

Any hints would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Daniel,

yes, both switches are connected on right ports:

BD8806:

sh edp port all

Port Neighbor Neighbor-ID Remote Age Num
Port Vlans
=============================================================================
6:2 access01 00:00:02:04:96:XX:XX:XX 2:49 33 3
=============================================================================

SUMMIT X:

sh edp port all
Port Neighbor Neighbor-ID Remote Age Num
Port Vlans
=============================================================================
2:49 core01 00:00:00:04:96:XX:XX:XX 6:2 21 2
============================================================================= thank you

Antonio,

Is 8806 port 6:2 connected to Stack port 2:49 (i'm assuming so)? Are there any other active ports in mvrptest?

In order for MVRP to function, there should be multiple devices advertising the VLAN in the network. It is intended to dynamically extend/provision a VLAN, advertised by two edge devices, across the core of a network. Try adding another active port on the 8806 to mvrptest (not 6:2). I suspect you will see 6:2 added dynamically to the VLAN at that point.

If not, please post the following outputs (from both switches) and we can investigate further:

show vlan
show vlan mvrptest
show mvrp tag 200

[Antonio_Prado]

well, if that's correct then I guess it's not correct what explained in this recent article by extreme networks

thank you

Yes that is correct

Chad,

I tried to add another (disabled) port of SUMMIT X stack to vlan mvrptest.

as you said mvrptest propagated correctly and has been dynamically added to mvrp enabled ports.

so, it seems that a vlan doesn't propagate until a port (other than mvrp transmitting port) is added to that vlan.

am I correct?

thank you
