Dynamic Host Control Protocol
(DHCP)
Provides a framework for passing configuration information to hosts on a
TCP/IP network. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP),
adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses
and additional configuration options.
Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN
(EAPOL)
EAPOL is a client authentication protocol used by this switch to verify the
network access rights for any device that is plugged into the switch. A user
name and password is requested by the switch, and then passed to an
authentication server (e.g., RADIUS) for verification. EAPOL is
implemented as part of the IEEE 802.1X Port Authentication standard.
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol
(GVRP)
Defines a way for switches to exchange VLAN information in order to
register necessary VLAN members on ports along the Spanning Tree so
that VLANs defined in each switch can work automatically over a
Spanning Tree network.
Generic Attribute Registration Protocol
(GARP)
GARP is a protocol that can be used by endstations and switches to
register and propagate multicast group membership information in a
switched environment so that multicast data frames are propagated only to
those parts of a switched LAN containing registered endstations. Formerly
called Group Address Registration Protocol.
Generic Multicast Registration Protocol
(GMRP)
GMRP allows network devices to register end stations with multicast
groups. GMRP requires that any participating network devices or end
stations comply with the IEEE 802.1p standard.
Group Attribute Registration Protocol
(GARP)
See Generic Attribute Registration Protocol.
