GARP Configuration
GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) defines the architecture, rules of operation,
state machines and variables for the registration and de-registration of attribute values. It
allows dynamic filter entries for VLAN membership to be distributed among the Forwarding
Databases of VLAN-aware switches. This screen allows the GARP attributes to be defined on
a per-port basis.

By joining GARP VLAN Registration Protocol, VLAN information is actively maintained across
the network. The rule of the GARP aging scheme is:
GARP Leave All Time > GARP Leave Time > GARP Join Time
