Description
MVRP provides central management of VLAN domains, thus reducing administration in a switched network. When configuring a new VLAN in MVRP, the VLAN is distributed through all switches in the domain. This reduces the need to configure the same VLAN everywhere. MVRP pruning preserves bandwidth by preventing VLAN traffic (unknown MAC, broadcast, multicast) from being sent down trunk links when not needed, that is, there are no access switch ports in neighboring switches belonging to such VLANs. An attack could allow unauthorized access to previously blocked VLANs or allow the addition of unauthorized switches into the domain. There is no authentication method available for MVRP to reduce this risk.

Who does this work

7 NICE work roles and 5 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Details

Check Text (C-273674r1110977_chk)

Review the switch configuration to verify if MVRP is enabled. Router(config)#show mvrp No mvrp configuration found Router(config) If MVRP protocol response from show mvrp command indicates Enabled, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-77670r1110044_fix)

Configure the switch to disable Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP). 1. Enter configuration mode: device1# configure terminal 2. Disable MVRP: Router(config)#no mvrp enable
