Configuring GMRP

GMRP is a MAC-based multicast management protocol, whereas IGMP is IP-based. GMRP

provides a mechanism that allows bridges and end stations to register or un-register Group

membership information dynamically.

Setting Description

Fixed Ports This multicast address is defined by static multicast.

Learned Ports This multicast address is learned by GMRP.

Using Bandwidth Management

In general, one host should not be allowed to occupy unlimited bandwidth, particularly when the

device malfunctions. For example, so-called “broadcast storms” could be caused by an incorrectly

configured topology, or a malfunctioning device. The PT-7728 not only prevents broadcast storms,

but can also be configured to a different ingress rate for all packets, giving administrators full

control of their limited bandwidth to prevent undesirable effects caused by unpredictable faults.
