    GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) The process of the forwarding decision and tagging frames is the same as for 802.1Q as described in the Cabletron Systems 802.1Q VLAN User’s Guide. However, the GVRP protocol frames will not have a tag even when transmitted out a 1Q Trunk Port.
  • Page 100 4-1, Switch 4, port 1 is registered as being a member of VLAN Blue and then declares this fact out all its ports (2 and 3) to Switch 1 and Switch 2. These two switches register this in the Port VLAN Lists of the ports (Switch 1, port 1 and Switch 2 Port 1) that received the frames with the information.

  • Page 101: Garp Multicast Registration Protocol (Gmrp)

    Configuring a VLAN on an 802.1Q switch creates a static GVRP entry. The entry will always remain registered and will not time out. However, dynamic entries will time-out and their registrations are removed from the member list if the end station A is removed. This ensures that if switches are disconnected, or if end stations are removed, the registered information remains accurate.

  • Page 113: A.1 Igmp Overview

    IGMP OVERVIEW IGMP is a multicast protocol used by routers. This protocol is supported by Cabletron Systems SmartSwitches when operating in the 802.1Q mode to “snoop” the IGMP frames. The multicast information is gleaned from the IGMP frame and a filter is created to send the stream of data only to those end stations that request to receive it.

  • Page 114: Appendix A: About Igmp

    IGMP will run with GMRP, however, the IGMP does have higher priority than GMRP. • The switch does not act as the querier. A router is required for IGMP on the switch to function. • The switch will “snoop” on all incoming multicast addresses to detect query responses, as well as queries.
  • Page 115 There are many multicast routing protocols that the switch supports. These include the following: • PIM version 1 and 2 • CBT (core based trees) • MOSPF • DVMRP The routing protocols are detected as follows: • All the multicast routing protocols have a destination address of 01-00-5E.
