GMRP

GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol), based on GARP, is used for

 

maintaining dynamic multicast registration information. All the switches

 

supporting GMRP can receive multicast registration information from other

 

switches, and dynamically update local multicast registration information. Local

 

multicast registration information can be transmitted to other switches. This

 

information switching mechanism keeps consistency of multicast information

 

maintained by every GMRP-supporting device in the same switching network.

 

A host transmits GMRP Join message. After receiving the message, the switch

 

adds the port to the multicast group, and broadcasts the message throughout the

 

VLAN; thereby the multicast source in the VLAN knows the multicast member.

 

When the multicast source sends packets to its group, the switch only forwards

 

the packets to the ports connected to members, thereby implementing the Layer 2

 

multicast in VLAN.

 

The multicast information transmitted by GMRP includes, local static multicast

 

registration information configured manually, and the multicast registration

 

information dynamically registered by other switches.

Configuring GMRP The main tasks in a GMRP configuration are described in the following sections:

Enable/Disable GMRP Globally

Enabling/Disabling GMRP on the Port

Displaying and Debugging GMRP

In the configuration process, GMRP must be enabled globally before it is enabled on the port.
