M6100, M5300, and M7100 Series Managed Switches MMRP allows for the propagation 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 can 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 switch. MSRP reserves necessary resources in the network to facilitate time-sensitive traffic to flow end to end. 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 requires specific bandwidth, frame rate, and time sync values . With the use of MSRP these resources are guaranteed through all intermediate devices that are between any talker and listener. MVRP registers VLANs in the network, enabling automatic VLAN configuration on the switch. 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. Note: MRP framework must be available and enabled in all intermediate devices to ensure that the propagation of the attributes occurs throughout the network. With MRP, network attributes are declared, registered, withdrawn, and removed completely dynamically without any user intervention. This dynamic nature is especially useful in networks where the following is true: • Network attributes are likely to change frequently, requiring reconfiguration of the intermediate devices. • Recipients of these attributes frequently increase or decrease in number. • Each of these changes without a dynamic self-adjusting framework would require constant attention from the network administrator. Configure Global MRP Settings You can configure global MRP settings for the switch.  To configure global MRP settings: 1. Prepare your computer with a static IP address in the 169.254.100.0 subnet, for example, 169.254.100.201. 2. Connect an Ethernet cable from an Ethernet port on your computer to an Ethernet port on the switch. 3. Launch a web browser. 4. Enter the IP address of the switch in the web browser address field. The default IP address of the switch is 169.254.100.100. Configure Switching Information 311
