GVRP Configuration

GVRP allows you to set-up VLANs automatically rather than manual configuration on every port of every switch in the
network. GVRP conforms to the IEEE 802.1Q specification. This defines a method of tagging frames with VLAN
configuration data that allows network devices to dynamically exchange VLAN configuration information with other devices.
GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol), a protocol that defines procedures by which end stations and switches in a
local area network (LAN) can register and de-register attributes, such as identifiers or addresses, with each other. Every end
station and switch thus has a current record of all the other end stations and switches that can be reached. GVRP, like GARP,
eliminates unnecessary network traffic by preventing attempts to transmit information to unregistered users. In addition, it is
necessary to manually configure only one switch and all the other switches will be configured accordingly.
