GVRP is an application based on Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP),
mainly used to automatically and dynamically maintain the group membership information of
the VLANs. The GVRP offers the function providing the VLAN registration service through a
GARP application. It makes use of GARP Information Declaration (GID) to maintain the ports
associated with their attribute database and GARP Information Propagation (GIP) to
communicate among switches and end stations. With GID information and GIP, GVRP state
machine maintain the contents of Dynamic VLAN Registration Entries for each VLAN and
propagate these information to other GVRP-aware devices to setup and update their
knowledge database, the set of VLANs associated with currently active members, and
through which ports these members can be reached.
