Defining GARP

Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) protocol is a general-purpose protocol that registers any network connectivity or membership-style information. GARP defines a set of devices interested in a given network attribute, such as VLAN or multicast address. When configuring GARP, ensure the following:

•The leave time must be greater than or equal to three times the join time.

•The leave-all time must be greater than the leave time.

•Set the same GARP timer values on all Layer 2-connected devices. If the GARP timers are set differently on the Layer 2-connected devices, the GARP application does not operate successfully.

To define GARP on the device:

1.Click Advanced Setup > VLAN > GARP > GARP Parameters. The GARP Parameters Page opens:

Figure 77: GARP Parameters Page

The GARP Parameters Page contains the following fields:

•Unit No. — Displays the stacking member for which the GARP parameters are displayed.

•Copy from Entry Number — Indicates the row number from which GARP parameters are copied.

•To Row Number — Indicates the row number to which GARP parameters are copied.

•Interface — Displays the port or LAG on which GARP is enabled.
