First off, I'm new to Juniper (and to most networking) so if I'm being stupid just say so and point me to what I'm missing.
I'm on 11.3R2.4.
I just got off the phone with Juniper support as I couldn't understand what was going on with mvrp. I have 4 switches where I created a few VLANs on the first one, set up 3 trunks, connected the other 3 switches to it and turned on mvrp.
I saw that the VLAN IDs had gotten passed around the other switches, but I can't use them for assignment. They show up in a show vlans from the standard prompt but from the configure prompt there's nothing there.
From JWeb if you try to change the VLAN config for a port, they show up in the list of available ones, but the commit fails.
So...what good is mvrp if all it does is pseudo copies the VLAN IDs around the network?
