A GARP participant starts a Leave timer when it receives a Leave message for an attribute value. If the
GARP participant receives no Join message for the attribute value before the timer expires, it deregisters
the attribute value.
LeaveAll timer
4.
When a GARP application is enabled, a LeaveAll timer starts. The GARP participant sends a LeaveAll
message when the timer expires. Then, the LeaveAll timer restarts to begin a new cycle. The LeaveAll
timer and all other GARP timers also restart when the GARP participant receives a LeaveAll message.
NOTE:
Because a LeaveAll message deregisters all attributes in the entire network, do not set the LeaveAll timer
•
too short. At a minimum, the LeaveAll timer must be at least longer than the Leave timer.
On a GARP-enabled network, a switch can send LeaveAll messages at the interval set by its LeaveAll
•
timer or the LeaveAll timer of another device on the network, whichever is smaller. This is because each
time a switch on the network receives a LeaveAll message, it resets its LeaveAll timer.
