  • Page 114 Chapter 4: Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) The purpose of GVRP is to dynamically create VLANs across a switched network. When a VLAN is declared, the information is transmitted out GVRP configured ports on the switch in a GARP formatted frame using the GVRP multicast MAC address (01-80-C2-00-00-21).

  • Page 115: Garp Multicast Registration Protocol

    GARP Multicast Registration Protocol 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.

    Appendix A: About IGMP • Multicast forwarding rate is dependent on the number of ports to which the multicast stream is forwarded. More ports degrade the performance. • Supports IGMP version 1 and 2 only. Default is version 2. • Ports that are directly connected to routers are discovered dynamically through snooping for routing protocols.
  • Page 125 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.
