Gvrp Parameters - Dell PowerConnect 6224 User Manual

GVRP Parameters

The GARP VLAN Registration Protocol provides a mechanism that allows networking switches to
dynamically register (and de-register) VLAN membership information with the MAC networking
switches attached to the same segment, and for that information to be disseminated across all
networking switches in the bridged LAN that support GVRP.
The operation of GVRP relies upon the services provided by the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol
(GARP). GVRP can create up to 1024 VLANs.
Use the GVRP Global Parameters page to enable GVRP globally. You can also enable GVRP on a per-
interface basis.
To display the GVRP Global Parameters page, click Switching → VLAN → GVRP Parameters in the tree
view.
