MVRP limitations

• MVRP and GVRP are mutually exclusive, and cannot coexist.

• MVRP and Smartlink are mutually exclusive. Smartlinks can be enabled on ports, which are not MVRP enabled and vice versa.

• MVRP cannot be enabled with the Mesh protocol.

• MVRP and PVST are mutually exclusive. When MVRP is globally enabled, spanning tree mode cannot be set as PVST and vice versa.

• MVRP is mutually exclusive on DT trunks and has the following restrictions:

  • Configuring MVRP on DT trunks, and DT keep-alive ports is not allowed.

  • MVRP does not propagate DT keep-alive VLANs.

• MVRP can be enabled on a provider bridge environment, but does not support SVLAN ports in mixed mode configuration.

• MVRP can be used to manage VLANs on dynamic trunk.

• Enable aaa port-access gvrp-vlans to support radius assigned VLANs. When you enable aaa port-access gvrp-vlans, dynamic VLANs created by MVRP or GVRP can be used for radius port assignment.

• OpenFlow member VLAN cannot be a dynamic VLAN. As a result, a dynamic VLAN must be converted to static to be handled by the OpenFlow controller.

• For security purpose, MVRP is disabled by default. MVRP packets are blocked on MVRP disabled ports, but can be enabled on ports which are security enabled.

• MVRP and private VLAN cannot coexist.

• DIPLDv6 cannot be configured on MVRP enabled ports.

• MVRP support is limited for 512 VLANs and 128 logical ports due to CPU and memory resource availability.
