8-2 VLAN Setup
GARP
GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) allows network switchs to register and de-register attribute values
with other GARP participants within a bridged LAN. GARP is a protocol that provides a generic mechanism for
protocols that serve a more specific application, for example, GVRP.
GARP Timers
Switches join VLANs by making a declaration. A declaration is made by issuing a Join message using GARP.
Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message. A Leave All message terminates all registrations. GARP
timers set declaration timeout values.
GVRP
GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is a registration protocol that defines a way for switches to register
necessary VLAN members on ports across the network. Enable this function to permit VLANs groups beyond the
local switch.
Please refer to the following table for common GARP terminology.
