Defining GVRP
The
GVRP Page
enables users to configure
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol
(GVRP) on the device. GVRP is
specifically provided for automatic distribution of VLAN membership information among VLAN-aware bridges.
GVRP allows VLAN-aware bridges to automatically learn VLANs to bridge ports mapping, without having to
individually configure each bridge and register VLAN membership.
In the
GVRP Page
, users can do the following tasks:
•
Configuring GVRP
•
Enabling/Disabling GVRP on a Port
The settings for the three GVRP timers must be the same on all GVRP-active devices in your network. This is
configurable only in the CLI, using the config-if
garp timer
command.
