Netgear M4300-8X8F (XSM4316S) - Stackable Managed Switch with 16x10G including 8x10GBASE-T and 8xSFP+ Layer 3 User Manual

The fields available on the MRP Configuration page vary based on the 
platform and its supported features.

Select the MVRP Mode Enable or Disable radio button.

This specifies the global administrative mode of MVRP on the device. The default is 
Disable.

Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP) registers VLANs in the network, enabling 
automatic VLAN configuration on the device. In a typical network, VLAN tagging is 
common. Many nodes require ingress traffic to be tagged with a specific VLAN ID, and 
other nodes require egress traffic to be transmitted with a specific VLAN ID. With the use 
of MVRP on both ingress and egress, no manual VLAN configuration is required to pass 
tagged traffic through the network.

Select the MMRP Enable or Disable radio button.

This specifies the global administrative mode of MMRP on the device. The default is 
Disable.

Multiple MAC Registration Protocol (MMRP) allows the propagation of MAC address 
information in the network, and allows for the registration and deregistration of both 
individual MAC address information and group MAC address membership. End stations 
can request to join or leave a multicast group, or to register an individual MAC address 
with a specific VLAN. MAC address entries can be dynamically registered and 
deregistered if MMRP is administratively enabled on the device.

Select the Periodic State Machine (MVRP) Enable or Disable radio button.

When enabled, the state machine can help limit the effect of topology changes and 
reduce the number of protocol data units (PDUs) transmitted between devices. The 
default is Disable.

Select the Periodic State Machine (MMRP) Enable or Disable radio button. 

When enabled, the state machine can help limit the effect of topology changes and 
reduce the number of protocol data units (PDUs) transmitted between devices. The 
default is Disable.

Click the Apply button.

The updated configuration is sent to the switch. Configuration changes take effect 
immediately.
