Defining GARP
GARP is a general-purpose protocol that registers any network connectivity or membership-style
information. GARP defines a set of devices interested in a given network attribute, such as
VLAN or multicast address. When configuring GARP, ensure the following:
■
The leave timer must be greater than or equal to three times the join time.
■
The leave all timer must be greater than the leave timer.
■
Set the same GARP timer values on all Layer 2 connected devices. If the GARP timers are
set differently on the Layer 2 connected devices, the GARP application does not operate
successfully.
To define GARP on the device:
1. Click Layer 2 > VLAN > GARP Settings. The GARP Settings page opens:
GARP Settings
The GARP Settings page contains the following fields:
❏
Ports — Displays the port settings for GARP.
❏
LAGs — Displays the LAG settings for GARP.
❏
Interface — Displays the port or LAG on which GARP is enabled.
