IEEE 802.1Q seems to be pretty clear on GVRP being a requirement for
VLANs (certainly to claim 802.1Q compliance) and I don't know of
another mechanism for switches to communicate VLANs registration and
configuration information. But I found this article:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.dcom.lans.ethernet/msg/ff9bcb9713b76932
which says GVRP isn't widely deployed. If VLAN requires GVRP, then
that implies VLAN isn't widely deployed. Which seems wrong. I imagine
I'm missing something. Can anyone shine some light on this for me?
Thanks.
