destination MAC addresses and then submits them to different applications (GVRP or
GMRP) for processing.
3.13.2 GVRP
GVRP is a GARP application. Based on the GARP mechanism, GVRP maintains
dynamic VLAN registration information in a routing switch and transmits the information
to other routing switches.
All GVRP-enabled routing switches can receive VLAN registration information from
other routing switches and update the local VLAN registration information (including the
information about the current VLAN members and the ports though which the VLAN
members can be reached) dynamically. Additionally, a GARP-enabled routing switch
can transmit its local VLAN registration information (including the local static
registration information configured manually and the dynamic registration information
from other routing switches) to other routing switches, so that all the GARP-enabled
routing switches in the same switching network have the consistent VLAN information.
