Port GVRP Settings

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is a Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) application that provides 802.1Q-compliant VLAN pruning and dynamic VLAN creation on 802.1Q trunk ports. With GVRP, the Switch can exchange VLAN configuration information with other GVRP switches, prune unnecessary broadcast and unknown unicast traffic, and dynamically create and manage VLANs on switches connected through 802.1Q trunk ports.

To enable a port to dynamically become a member of a VLAN, highlight Configure Port GVRP Settings on the IEEE 802.1Q VLANs Configuration menu and press Enter:

Figure 6-28. Port GVRP Settings screen

This screen allows you to enable or disable GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP), where GARP is the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol, on individual ports. Enter the range of ports to be configured in the first two fields and then toggle the GVRP State to On. Press APPLY to let your changes take effect.

GVRP updates dynamic VLAN registration entries and communicates the new VLAN information across the network. This allows, among other things, for stations to physically move to other switch ports and keep their same VLAN settings, without having to reconfigure VLAN settings on the Switch.

Configure IGMP Snooping

IGMP Snooping can be globally enabled or disabled from the IGMP Snooping Settings screen.

To configure IGMP Snooping, highlight Configure IGMP Snooping on the Configuration menu and press Enter.
