Configuring GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP)
Table 81
lists the individual Dell PowerConnect switches and the GVRP features they support.
GVRP overview
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is a Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP)
application that provides VLAN registration service by means of dynamic configuration
(registration) and distribution of VLAN membership information.
A Dell PowerConnect device enabled for GVRP can do the following:
•
Learn about VLANs from other Dell PowerConnect devices and configure those VLANs on the
ports that learn about the VLANs. The device listens for GVRP Protocol Data Units (PDUs) from
other devices, and implements the VLAN configuration information in the PDUs.
•
Advertise VLANs configured on the device to other Dell PowerConnect devices. The device
sends GVRP PDUs advertising its VLANs to other devices. GVRP advertises statically configured
VLANs and VLANs learned from other devices through GVRP.
GVRP enables a Dell PowerConnect device to dynamically create 802.1Q-compliant VLANs on links
with other devices that are running GVRP. GVRP reduces the chances for errors in VLAN
configuration by automatically providing VLAN ID consistency across the network. You can use
GVRP to propagate VLANs to other GVRP-aware devices automatically, without the need to manually
configure the VLANs on each device. In addition, if the VLAN configuration on a device changes,
GVRP automatically changes the VLAN configurations of the affected devices.
The Dell PowerConnect implementation of GARP and GVRP is based on the following standards:
•
ANSI/IEEE standard 802.1D, 1998 edition
•
IEEE standard 802.1Q, 1998 edition; approved December 8, 1998
•
IEEE draft P802.1w/D10, March 26, 2001
•
IEEE draft P802.1u/D9, November 23, 2000
