GVRP
In addition to network management tools that allow network
administrators to statically add and delete VLAN member
ports, the routing switch supports GARP VLAN Registration
Protocol (GVRP). GVRP supports dynamic registration of
VLAN port members within a switch and across multiple
switches.
In addition to dynamically updating registration entries within
a switch, GVRP is used to communicate VLAN registration
information to other VLAN-aware switches, so that members
of a VLAN can cover a wide span of switches on a network.
GVRP allows both VLAN-aware workstations and switches to
issue and revoke VLAN memberships. VLAN-aware switches
register and propagate VLAN membership to all ports that are
part of the active topology of the VLAN.
