10.2 GVRP Configuration
10.2.1 Introduction to GVRP
GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) can be used to dynamically distribute, populate and register
property information between switch members within a switch network, the property can be VLAN information,
Multicast MAC address of the other information. As a matter of fact, GARP protocol can convey multiple
property features the switch need to populate. Various GARP applications are defined on the basis of GARP,
which are called GARP application entities, and GVRP is one of them.
GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is an application based on GARP working mechanism. It is
responsible for the maintenance of dynamic VLAN register information and population of such register
information to the other switches. Switches support GVRP can receive VLAN dynamic register information
from the other switches, and update local VLAN register information according the information received. The
switch enabled GVRP can also populate their own VLAN register information to the other switches. The
populated VLAN register information includes local static information manually configured and dynamic
information learnt from the other switches. Therefore, by populating the VLAN register information, VLAN
information consistency can be achieved among all GVRP enabled switches.
