Configure the GARP switch settings
The Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) is used to exchange information
between GARP participants to register and deregister attribute values within a bridged LAN.
When a GARP participant declares or withdraws a given attribute, the attribute value is
recorded with the applicant state machine for that attribute, for the port from which the
declaration or withdrawal was made.
•
Registration occurs only on ports that receive the GARP PDU containing a declaration or
withdrawal.
•
Deregistration occurs only if all GARP participants connected to the same LAN segment
as the port withdraw the declaration.
GARP is part of the IEEE 802.1p extension to its 802.1D (spanning tree) specification. It
includes the following:
•
GARP Information Declaration (GID)
. The part of GARP that generates data.
•
GARP Information Propagation (GIP)
. The part of GARP that distributes data.
Note:
It can take up to 10 seconds for GARP configuration changes to take
effect.
