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

  • 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.

  • An 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 purposes, 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 to 512 VLANs and 128 logical ports due to CPU and memory resource availability.
