Configuring GVRP Parameters

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is specifically provided for automatic distribution of
VLAN membership information among VLAN-aware bridges. GVRP allows VLAN-aware bridges to
automatically learn VLANs to bridge ports mapping, without having to individually configure each
bridge and register VLAN membership.
The GVRP Parameters page enables GVRP globally. GVRP can also be enabled on a per-interface
basis. To open the GVRP Parameters page, click Switch→ VLAN→ GVRP Parameters in the tree
view.
