switching network. GVRP enables network devices to dynamically deliver, register, and
propagate VLAN attributes, reducing workload of the network administrator and ensuring
correct configuration.
5.2 Principles
This section describes the implementation of GVRP.
5.2.1 Basic Concepts
Participant
On a device, each port running a protocol is considered as a participant. On a device running
GVRP, each GVRP-enabled port is considered as a GVRP participant, as shown in
Figure 5-2

VLAN Registration and Deregistration
GVRP implements automatic registration and deregistration of VLAN attributes. The functions
of VLAN registration and deregistration are:
l
VLAN registration: adds a port to a VLAN.
l
VLAN deregistration: removes a port from a VLAN.
GVRP registers and deregisters VLAN attributes through attribute declarations and reclaim
declarations as follows:
l
When a port receives a VLAN attribute declaration, it registers the VLAN specified in the
declaration. That is, the port is added to the VLAN.
