Configuring GVRP

Web version

To make it possible to manage and distribute VLAN membership information to different switches through the

LAN, the IEEE defined the Generic Attribute Resolution Protocol (GARP), a dynamic protocol that is currently

applied in two variations:

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP). In GVRP, a device can create or request admission to a

specific VLAN. GVRP devices can declare that they want to join or leave an existing VLAN and learn about

the VLAN membership on other devices.

●

GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP). In GMRP, a device can create or request membership in a

multicast domain. GMRP is not supported in this release.

●

Configuration Steps

To enable the GVRP protocol on the Switch, select Port Configuration from the Main Menu. Select the

GARP tab, then select Configure and check Enable GVRP on switch as shown here. The default is

disable.

After enabling GVRP on the Switch, enable GVRP on selected ports and set a port's filtering behavior, how

you want each port to handle tagged or untagged packets. Select the desired port from the port list as

shown here:
