5.15 GVRP Configuration
GVRP is an application based on the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP), mainly
used to automatically and dynamically maintain the group membership information of the
VLANs. GVRP provides the VLAN registration service through a GARP application. The GARP
Information Declaration (GID) is used 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.
