Not sure if this is the correct place to post this query….but here goes.

I have recently been asked to deploy Procurve networking (E series) using GVRP and it all seems to work quite well. However, what happens with IGMP snooping as this is configured by vlan (when a switch learns of a vlan dynamically it cannot accept static configuration).

So my questions are….

Is the fact that GVRP will prune the vlan after timers run down sufficient so as not to require IGMP to prune a multicast stream?

Does GVRP somehow magically take care of everything and automatically turn on IGMP snooping where required on a vlan that has multicast traffic?

Do I need to convert the dynamically learned vlan to a static in order to manually configure IGMP ? (Suspect this is the answer but could someone confirm / clarify please)?

Many thanks,

Mark.

You can convert a dynamic VLAN to static VLAN with this command:

static-vlan 123

Richard,

Thanks for your response.

Are you saying that the correct way to use IGMP snooping and GVRP concurrently is to convert dynamically learned Vlans to static using this command, and then to perform the IGMP snooping configuration?

Regards,

Mark.
