GARP Configuration

Use this page to set the administrative mode for the features that use the Generic Attribute Registration
Protocol (GARP), including GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) and GARP Multicast Registration
Protocol (GMRP). GARP is a general-purpose protocol that registers any network connectivity or
membership-style information. GARP defines a set of switches interested in a given network attribute, such
as VLAN ID or multicast address.

GARP Port Configuration
Use this page to set the per-interface administrative mode for GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP)
and GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP). On this page, you can also set the GARP timers for each
interface. GVRP and GMRP use the same set of GARP timers to specify the amount of time to wait before
transmitting various GARP messages.

Description
The administrative mode of GVRP on the system. When set to Enable, GVRP can help dynamically
manage VLAN memberships on trunk ports.
The administrative mode of GMRP on the system. When set to Enable, GMRP can help control the
flooding of multicast traffic by keeping track of group membership information. GMRP is similar to
IGMP snooping in its purpose, but IGMP snooping is more widely used. GMRP must be running on
both the host and the switch to function properly.
