3.9. GARP Configuration

Figure 3-31. GARP Configuration Menu

GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) defines the architecture, rules of operation, state machines and variables for the registration and de-registration of attribute values. It allows dynamic filter entries for VLAN membership to be distributed among the Forwarding Databases of VLAN-aware switches. By joining GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol), it helps maintaining VLAN information. The rule of the aging scheme is:

GARP Leave All Time > GARP Leave Time > GARP Join Time

NOTE:: Before GVRP can be enabled, STP must also be enabled, saved, and the switch must go through a Cold Start in order for configuration to take effect.
