VLAN -> GVRP Global Parameters

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is specifically provided for automatic distribution of

VLAN membership information among VLAN-aware bridges. GVRP allows VLAN-aware bridges to

automatically learn VLANs to bridge ports mapping, without having to individually configure each

bridge and register VLAN membership.
