Click to update the device. Configuring GVRP and Trunking GVRP Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) protocol is a general-purpose protocol that registers any network connectivity or membership-style information. GARP defines a set of devices interested in a given network attribute, such as VLAN or multicast address. GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) protocol 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 to register VLAN membership. To minimize the memory requirements when running the GVRP protocol, two proprietary tuning variables have been added to the standard variables: ♦ Maximum number of GVRP VLANs - Displays the number of GVRP VLANs allowed to participate in GVRP operation. ♦ Maximum number of GVRP VLANs after Reset - Sets another value of GVRP VLANs. Maximum number of GVRP VLANs after Reset is used for tuning. This value becomes valid after reset only. The maximum number of GVRP VLANs includes all the VLANs participating in GVRP operation regardless if they are static or dynamic. The following should be considered when specifying the maximum number of VLANs participating in GVRP by setting the Maximum number of GVRP VLANs after Reset value: ♦ The default maximum number of GVRP VLANs is equal to 0 because of the memory restrictions. ♦ The maximum number of VLANs (managed through Max VLANs MIB variable) limits the maximum number of GVRP VLANs. 89

Configuring GVRP and Trunking
GVRP
Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) protocol is a general-purpose protocol that registers any
network connectivity or membership-style information. GARP defines a set of devices interested in a
given network attribute, such as VLAN or multicast address.
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) protocol 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 to register VLAN membership.
To minimize the memory requirements when running the GVRP protocol, two proprietary tuning
variables have been added to the standard variables:
♦
Maximum number of GVRP VLANs – Displays the number of GVRP VLANs allowed to
participate in GVRP operation.
♦
Maximum number of GVRP VLANs after Reset – Sets another value of GVRP VLANs.
Maximum
number of GVRP VLANs after Reset
is used for tuning. This value becomes valid after reset only.
The maximum number of GVRP VLANs includes all the VLANs participating in GVRP operation
regardless if they are static or dynamic.
The following should be considered when specifying the maximum number of VLANs participating in
GVRP by setting the
Maximum number of GVRP VLANs after Reset
value:
♦
The default maximum number of GVRP VLANs is equal to 0 because of the memory
restrictions.
♦
The maximum number of VLANs (managed through Max VLANs MIB variable) limits the
maximum number of GVRP VLANs.
