GVRP Configuration
GVRP Configuration
GVRP allows you to set-up VLANs automatically rather than manual configuration on every port of every switch in the
network. GVRP conforms to the IEEE 802.1Q specification. This defines a method of tagging frames with VLAN
configuration data that allows network devices to dynamically exchange VLAN configuration information with other devices.
GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol), a protocol that defines procedures by which end stations and switches in a
local area network (LAN) can register and de-register attributes, such as identifiers or addresses, with each other. Every end
station and switch thus has a current record of all the other end stations and switches that can be reached. GVRP, like GARP,
eliminates unnecessary network traffic by preventing attempts to transmit information to unregistered users. In addition, it is
necessary to manually configure only one switch and all the other switches will be configured accordingly.

Description
GVRP Protocol
Allows you to
Enable
/
Disable
GVRP globally.
State
After enabling GVRP globally, you can still
Enable

Join Timer
Controls the interval of sending the GVRP Join BPDU. An instance of this
timer is required on a per-Port, per-GARP Participant basis.
Leave Timer
Controls the time to release the GVRP reservation after having received the
GVRP Leave BPDU. An instance of the timer is required for each state
machine that is in the LV state.
Leave All Timer
Controls the period to initiate the garbage collection of registered VLAN.
The timer is required on a per-Port, per-GARP Participant basis.
