Post a picture of what you are trying to do.

 

Your NICs do not have to support GVRP.  You can enable GVRP on individual ports.  Dell uses different NICs indifferent PCs/laptops.   You will have to see what is in your specific models, and then see if they support GVRP.  Usually, the configuration utility for a GVRP capable NIC has to be downloaded from the NIC vendor: Intel, Broadcom, 3COM, etc.

Thanks you. you said " NICs do not have to support GVRP",but I still have confusions. From online docs, I found below figure: It seems that need clients that support gvrp to initiate gvrp notifications to

active vlan registration.

I have one PC 6224 and one PC5324, I created Vlan 2,3,4 on PC 6224:

Vlan 2: port 1-4

Vlan 3: port 5-8

Vlan 4: port 12

I used Port 24 as trunk port to connect two switches. Then I enabled gvrp globally and on port 24 on each switch,then from PC 5324,I can find the vlan registrate successfully:

console(config-if)# s01-Jan-2000 01:30:38 %VLAN-I-GVRPAddVlan: Dynamic VLAN 2 wa
s added by GVRP
01-Jan-2000 01:30:38 %LINK-I-Up:  Vlan 2
01-Jan-2000 01:30:38 %VLAN-I-GVRPAddPort: Dynamic port g24 was added to VLAN 2 b

01-Jan-2000 01:30:38 %VLAN-I-GVRPAddVlan: Dynamic VLAN 3 was added by GVRP

01-Jan-2000 01:30:38 %VLAN-I-GVRPAddPort: Dynamic port g24 was added to VLAN 3 b
y GVRP

........

 

But only port 24 is member of each vlan:

 

Please post your config files.

 

Here is how it should work:

If you configured GVRP on port 24 and access vlans on:

Some questions:

- what exactly are you doing? 

- what are you expecting to happen?
