3.26 GVRP
GVRP (GVRP VLAN Registration Protocol) is defined in the IEEE 802.1Q standard and enables the switch to dynamically
create IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLANs between GVRP-enabled devices. With GVRP, VLAN information can be
automatically propagated from device to device so as to reduce errors when creating VLANs manually and provide
VIDs consistency across network.
This section provides configuration pages for users to set up GVRP timers and enable GVRP on a per-port basis.
3.26.1 Global Config
Enable GVRP:
Select the checkbox to globally enable GVRP function.
Join-time:
Specify the amount of time in units of centi-seconds that PDUs are transmitted. The default value is 20
centi-seconds. The valid value is 1
~
20.
Note:
The “Leave-time” parameter must be three times greater than or equal to Join time.
Leave-time:
Specify the amount of time in units of centi-seconds that the device waits before deleting the associated
etry. The leave time is activated by a “Leave All-time” message sent/received and cancelled by the Join message. The
default value is 60 centi-seconds.
LeaveAll-time:
Specify the amount of time that “LeaveAll” PDUs are created. A LeaveAll PDU indicates that all
registrations are shortly de-registered. Participants will need to rejoin in order to maintain registration. The valid value
is 1000 to 5000 centi-seconds. The factory default 1000 centi-seconds.
NOTE:
The “LeaveAll-time” parameter must be greater than the “Leave-time” parameter.
Max VLANs:
The maximum number of VLANs can be learned via GVRP.
