11 GVRP Configuration
11.1 Overview
GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is a GARP (Generic Attribute Registration
Protocol) application that dynamically configures and propagates VLAN membership.
Through GVRP protocol, the device can:
Listen to GVRP PDUs on each port, learn the VLAN information registered on
GVRP-aware devices connected according to such GVRP PDUs, and then configure
VLAN members on the port receiving GVRP PDUs.
Propagate VLAN information on each port by sending GVRP PDUs. The VLAN
information propagated includes the statically configured VLANs and those learned
from other devices via GVRP.
Through GVRP, devices on the switching network can dynamically create VLAN and
maintain the consistency of VLAN configurations in a real-time manner. Through
automatic declaration of VLAN ID within the network, GVRP well reduces the possibility of
faults caused by inconsistent configurations. In case of any change in the VLAN
configurations on a device, GVRP can automatically change the VLAN configurations on
the connected devices, thus reducing manual configuration works to be done by the user.
GARP and GVRP are defined in the following standards:
IEEE standard 802.1D
IEEE standard 802.1Q
