Description
Enter a value to specify the time between the transmission of GARP
PDUs registering (or re-registering) membership for a VLAN or
multicast group in centiseconds. Enter a number between 6 and 600.
An instance of this timer exists for each GARP participant for each
port.
Enter a value to specify the time to wait after receiving an unregister
request for a VLAN or multicast group before deleting the associated
entry, in centiseconds. This allows time for another station to assert
registration for the same attribute in order to maintain uninterrupted
service. Enter a number between 12 and 3000. An instance of this
timer exists for each GARP participant for each port.
Enter a value to specify the Leave All Time controls how frequently
Leave All PDUs are generated. A LeaveAll PDU indicates that all
registrations will shortly be deregistered. Participants will need to
rejoin in order to maintain registration. The Leave All Period Timer is
set to a random value in the range of LeaveAllTime to
1.5*LeaveAllTime. The timer is specified in centiseconds. Enter a
number between 12 and 12000. An instance of this timer exists for
each GARP participant for each port.
