9.3 GVRP Configuration

GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) can be used to dynamically distribute, populate and register property information between switch members within a switch network, the property can be VLAN information, Multicast MAC address of the other information. As a matter of fact, GARP protocol can convey multiple property features the switch needs to populate. Various GARP applications are defined on the basis of GARP, which are called GARP application entities, and GVRP is one of them.

GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is an application based on GARP working mechanism. It is responsible for the maintenance of dynamic VLAN register information and population of such register information to the other switches. Switches supporting GVRP can receive dynamic VLAN register information from the other switches, and update local VLAN register information according the information received. A GVRP enabled switch can also populate their own VLAN register information to the other switches. The VLAN register information populated includes local static information manually configured and dynamic information learnt from the other switches. Therefore, by populating the VLAN register information, VLAN information consistency can be achieved among all GVRP enabled switches.
