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

Antonio,

There were actually multiple problems with that article. I have corrected the article (and renamed it something more practical):

Can a VLAN created dynamically by MVRP be renamed?

To preserve your work above, I also created another article pertaining to your issue:

VLAN not propagating across the network after enabling MVRP

Please let me know if you would like me to add or change anything.

Also, I wanted to point out that the following commands are default, you do not have to enter them:
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 normalBy default all MVRP enabled ports can join any VLAN and will advertise all VLANs (with a port in them :)).

Antonio,

Port 3 was not added to VLAN default in my example, so this command would work. However, I added "tagged" to the command in the article anyways.

Thanks for all your input.

As for the article feedback, yes this is currently a limitation of GTACKnowledge. You cannot comment on positive feedback.

hi chad,

thanks for your prompt support.

about your article VLAN not propagating across the network after enabling MVRP, well done.

I guess that the command on switch B:

configure vlan test add port 3
should be

configure vlan test add port 3 tagged
The obvious reason is that, as you mentioned in that article

"MVRP is enabled on port 2 of each switch and added to the default VLAN untagged".

So, if I try to add port 3 untagged EXOS complains.

Thank you

[I tried to send this feedback on GTAC Knowledge as Ryan previously suggested, but having already given a positive feedback on the article, I cannot write comments anymore]

CORRECT PROCEDURE

Given two switches (XOS 15.7.1.4) inter-connected from port (say) 6:2 of switch A to port 2:49 of switch B:

on switch A
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 mvrp
on switch B: 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 2:1 tagged[look at the last line: a different port must be added to vlan mvrptest in order to activate the propagation process]

At this point vlan 200 will propagate from switch B to switch A: issuing a show vlan command on switch A it shows as SYS_VLAN_0200 with a 'd' flag (dynamically created VLAN).
