Table 259: MRP Configuration Fields
Field
Description
MVRP
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.
Admin Mode
The administrative mode of MVRP on the device.
Periodic State Machine
Select this option to enable the MRP Periodic State Machine for MVRP on the device.
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.
MMRP
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
may 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.
Admin Mode
The administrative mode of MMRP on the device.
Periodic State Machine
Select this option to enable the MRP Periodic State Machine for MMRP on the device.
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.
MSRP
Multiple Stream Reservation Protocol (MSRP) reserves necessary resources in the
network to facilitate the end-to-end flow of time sensitive traffic. In a typical network,
there are multiple Talkers (those who transmit streams) and multiple Listeners (those
who receive streams from one or many Talkers). Each flow has specific bandwidth,
frame rate, and time sync requirements. With the use of MSRP these resources are
guaranteed through all intermediate devices that are between any Talker and Listener.
Admin Mode
The administrative mode of MSRP on the device.
Periodic State Machine
Select this option to enable the MRP Periodic State Machine for MSRP on the device.
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.
Talker Pruning
Select this option to enable MSRP Talker pruning. The MSRP Talker is the source of an
AV stream. When enabled, Talker pruning stops MSRP declarations sent by the talker
unless a Listener registers and requests them.
Boundary Propagation
Select this option to enable MSRP boundary propagation on the device.
Max Fan In Ports
The maximum number of ports where MSRP registrations are allowed.
MRP Interface Configuration
Use the MRP Interface Configuration page to view and configure the per-interface Multiple Registration
Protocol (MRP) settings. To change the current settings for one or more interfaces, select each interface
to modify and click
Edit
. The same MRP settings are applied to all selected interfaces.
