MVRP scenario 1

This scenario illustrates the configuration of a simple MVRP deployment.

Procedure
  1. On switch A, enable MVRP globally, define VLANs on interface 1/1/1 and 1/1/2, and enable MVRP on each interface.
    switch# config
    switch(config)# mvrp
    switch(config)# interface 1/1/1
    switch(config-if)# no shutdown
    switch(config-if)# vlan trunk native 1
    switch(config-if)# mvrp
    switch(config-if)# exit
    switch(config)# interface 1/1/2
    switch(config-if)# no shutdown
    switch(config-if)# vlan trunk native 1
    switch(config-if)# mvrp
  2. On switch B, enable MVRP globally, define VLANs 10 and 20, assign a trunk native VLAN to interface 1/1/3, and enable MVRP on this interface.
    switch# config
    switch(config)# mvrp
    switch(config)# vlan 10
    switch(config)# vlan 20
    switch(config)# interface 1/1/3
    switch(config-if)# no shutdown
    switch(config-if)# vlan trunk native 1
    switch(config-if)# mvrp
  3. On switch C, enable MVRP globally, define VLAN 20, assign a trunk native VLAN to interface 1/1/3, and enable MVRP on this interface.
    switch# config
    switch(config)# mvrp
    switch(config)# vlan 20
    switch(config)# interface 1/1/3
    switch(config-if)# no shutdown
    switch(config-if)# vlan trunk native 1
    switch(config-if)# mvrp
  4. Verify VLAN configuration by running the command show vlan. It should show that VLAN 10 and 20 are learned by switch A, and VLAN 10 should be learned by switch C. For example:
    On switch A:
    switch# show vlan
