Chapter 10 Gvrp Commands - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850-48 Cli Reference Manual

The GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) facilitates control of virtual local area networks
(VLANs) within a larger network. It is an application of General Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP)
that provides the VLAN registration service. The GARP provides a generic framework whereby devices in
a bridged LAN can register and de-register attribute values, such as VLAN identifiers.
GVRP is compliant with 802.1q and dynamically learns and further propagates VLAN membership infor-
mation across a bridged network. It dynamically maintains and updates the registration and de-registration
of VLANs and prunes unnecessary broadcast and unicast traffic. Through propagation of GVRP informa-
tion, a switch can continuously update its knowledge on the set of VLANs that currently have active nodes
and on ports through which those nodes can be reached.
