6.5 GVRP

GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is an implementation of GARP (generic attribute
registration protocol). GVRP allows the switch to automatically add or remove the VLANs via the
dynamic VLAN registration information and propagate the local VLAN registration information to
other switches, without having to individually configure each VLAN.
GARP
GARP provides the mechanism to assist the switch members in LAN to deliver, propagate and
register the information among the members. GARP itself does not work as the entity among the
devices. The application complied with GARP is called GARP implementation, and GVRP is the
implementation of GARP. When GARP is implemented on a port of device, the port is called
GARP entity.
The information exchange between GARP entities is completed by messages. GARP defines the
messages into three types: Join, Leave and LeaveAll.
•
Join Message: When a GARP entity expects other switches to register certain attribute
information of its own, it sends out a Join message. And when receiving the Join message
from the other entity or configuring some attributes statically, the device also sends out a Join
message in order to be registered by the other GARP entities.
•
Leave Message: When a GARP entity expects other switches to deregister certain attribute
information of its own, it sends out a Leave message. And when receiving the Leave message
from the other entity or deregistering some attributes statically, the device also sends out a
Leave message.
•
LeaveAll Message: Once a GARP entity starts up, it starts the LeaveAll timer. After the timer
times out, the GARP entity sends out a LeaveAll message. LeaveAll message is to deregister
all the attribute information so as to enable the other GARP entities to re-register attribute
information of their own.
Through message exchange, all the attribute information to be registered can be propagated to all
the switches in the same switched network.
The interval of GARP messages is controlled by timers. GARP defines the following timers:
VLAN with its VLANID as 10, owning Port 3 and Port 4, and configure
the egress rule of Port 3 as Untag.
Required. On VLAN→802.1Q VLAN→VLAN Config page, create a
VLAN with its VLANID as 20, owning Port 3 and Port 5, and configure
the egress rule of Port 3 as Untag.
Required. On VLAN→Protocol VLAN→Protocol Template page,
configure the protocol template practically. E.g. the Ether Type of IP
network packets is 0800 and that of AppleTalk network packets is 809B.
Required. On the VLAN→Protocol VLAN→Port Enable page, select
and enable Port 3, Port 4 and Port 5 for Protocol VLAN feature.
On VLAN→Protocol VLAN→Protocol VLAN page, create protocol
VLAN 10 with Protocol as IP.
On VLAN→Protocol VLAN→Protocol VLAN page, create protocol
VLAN 20 with Protocol as AppleTalk.
