GVRP configuration

[LS1971]

Hi,

I'm configuring GVRP on 10500, 5800 and 5120 switches. Do I need to configure GVRP on the Bridge-Aggregation interfaces only (TRUNK between the switches), or on the participating interfaces? Here's the configuration on a 10500 switch:

[SWITCH]display link-aggregation verbose Bridge-Aggregation 1
Loadsharing Type: Shar -- Loadsharing, NonS -- Non-Loadsharing
Port Status: S -- Selected, U -- Unselected
Flags:  A -- LACP_Activity, B -- LACP_Timeout, C -- Aggregation,
        D -- Synchronization, E -- Collecting, F -- Distributing,
        G -- Defaulted, H -- Expired

Aggregation Interface: Bridge-Aggregation1
Aggregation Mode: Static
Loadsharing Type: Shar
  Port             Status  Priority  Oper-Key
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  XGE1/1/0/8       S       32768     7
  XGE2/1/0/8       S       32768     7

#

 port trunk permit vlan all
 gvrp

[SWITCH]display current-configuration interface Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/1/0/8
#

 port link-mode bridge
 port link-type trunk
 port trunk permit vlan all
 port link-aggregation group 1
#
return
[SWITCH]display current-configuration interface Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/1/0/8
#
interface Ten-GigabitEthernet2/1/0/8
 port link-mode bridge
 port link-type trunk
 port trunk permit vlan all
 port link-aggregation group 1
#
return
[PVIESWFBU201]display gvrp statistics interface Bridge-Aggregation 1

        GVRP statistics on port Bridge-Aggregation1

                GVRP Status                     : Enabled
                GVRP Running                    : YES
                GVRP Failed Registrations       : 0
                GVRP Last Pdu Origin            : 0000-0000-0000
                GVRP Registration Type          : Normal
[SWITCH]display gvrp statistics interface Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/1/0/8

        GVRP statistics on port Ten-GigabitEthernet1/1/0/8

                GVRP Status                     : Disabled
                GVRP Running                    : NO
                GVRP Failed Registrations       : 0
                GVRP Last Pdu Origin            : 0000-0000-0000
                GVRP Registration Type          : Normal
[SWITCH]display gvrp statistics interface Ten-GigabitEthernet 2/1/0/8

        GVRP statistics on port Ten-GigabitEthernet2/1/0/8

                GVRP Status                     : Disabled
                GVRP Running                    : NO
                GVRP Failed Registrations       : 0
                GVRP Last Pdu Origin            : 0000-0000-0000
                GVRP Registration Type          : Normal

As you can see, GVRP is enable on the Bridge-Aggregation interface (BAGG1), but not on the participating, individual interfaces (XGE1/1/0/8, XGE2/1/0/8).

I dont have any real answer to your question but when I configure bonded interfaces I configure them mainly through the "int bridge 1" and only if the command doesnt exist there I go to the physical interface which is part of this bond like "int gi 1/0/1" and "int gi 1/0/2" (that is 1/0/1 and 1/0/2 forms the bridged-interface 1).
