NAME

zgmrpd

 - GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP) daemon for the OpenArchitect switch. 

(Partially supported in this release.)

SYNOPSIS

zgmrpd [-d <level>] [-f] [-h <hostname>] [-p <ppa>] [-t <target>]

DESCRIPTION

zgmrpd

 is run after the network interfaces are created and initialized with 

zconfig

, and started 

with 

ifconfig(1M).zgmrpd

 starts a background task that implements the GARP Multicast 

Registration Protocol (GMRP)  protocol for a specified interface, either a 

zhp

 or 

bzhp

. GMRP 

provides a Layer-2 mechanism for determining which ports in a VLAN are listening to which 
multicast addresses. 

zgmrpd

 updates the multicast table in silicon with this information, so that 

the multicast traffic is forwarded only to the ports in a VLAN to which listening hosts are 
attached. This optimizes packet flow through the switch. The background task started by 

zgmrpd

 continues throughout the life of the Layer 2 network. GMRP is specified in 

ANSI/IEEE 

Std 802.1D, 1998 Edition

. 

zgmrpd

 manages the switch multicast table (MARL). Based on GMRP packets received on the 

target interface, 

zgmrpd

 creates, updates, or deletes an entry in the MARL. The key to each 

MARL entry is a source Ethernet multicast address combined with a VLAN ID. Two port 
bitmaps are maintained: one that identifies the untagged members of the VLAN, and one which 
identifies which ports of the VLAN have listening hosts attached.

NOTE: OpenArchitect does not tag BPDU packets. This means that if a port belongs to 
multiple VLANs, exactly which Multicast MAC/VLAN entry to create, modify, or delete 
cannot be determined. GMRP should not be used when ports belong to multiple VLANs. If 
the target is a 

zhp

, it’s recommended that the 

zhp

 contain all the ports on the switch.

When the maximum number of entries in the MARL is reached, 

zgmrpd

 deletes a random entry 

prior to adding the next entry.

By default, while GMRP is running, unregistered multicast traffic is filtered on the target 
interface. The GMRP protocol provides a mechanism for changing the filtering behavior on a per-
port basis. Filtering behavior can be set to filter unregistered multicast traffic, forward 
unregistered multicast traffic, or forward all traffic. 

zconfig

 can be used to set the filtering 

mode of each port. See

 

zconfig

 . Ports connected to routers should be set to “Forward All” 

filtering mode manually with 

zconfig

 after 

zgmrpd

 is up and running. When 

zgmrpd

 is 

terminated, filtering behavior is set to forward unregistered multicast traffic on each port in the 
target interface.
