set garp timer
To adjust the values of the join, leave, and leaveall timers, use the set garp timer command.
set garp timer {timer_type} {timer_value}
Syntax Description
Defaults The defaults are the join timer is 200 milliseconds, the leave timer is 600 milliseconds, and the leaveall
timer is 10000 milliseconds.
Command Types Switch command.
Command Modes Privileged.
Usage Guidelines The modified timer values are applied to all General Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP)
applications (for example, GMRP and GVRP) timer values.
You must maintain the following relationship for the various timer values:
•Leave time must be greater than or equal to three times the join time.
•Leaveall time must be greater than the leave time.
Caution Set the same GARP application (for example, GMRP and GVRP) timer values on all Layer2-connected
devices. If the GARP timers are set differently on the Layer 2-connected devices, GARP applications
will not operate successfully.
Examples This example shows how to set the join timer value for all the ports on all the VLANs:
