Configuration
GVRP is an application based on Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP). It is
mainly used to automatically and dynamically maintain the group membership
information of the VLANs. The GVRP offers the function to provide the VLAN
registration service through a GARP application. It makes use of the GARP
Information Declaration (GID) to maintain the ports associated with their attribute
database and the GARP Information Propagation (GIP) to communicate among
switches and end stations. With the GID information and GIP, the GVRP state
machine maintain the contents of Dynamic VLAN Registration Entries for each VLAN
and propagate these information to other GVRP-aware devices to set up and update
their knowledge database, the set of VLANs associated with currently active
members, and through which ports these members can be reached.
This page allows you to configure the basic GVRP Configuration settings for all switch
ports. The settings relate to the currently selected unit, as reflected by the page
header.
