Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP), allows members in the same 
switching network to distribute, propagate, and register information, such as 
VLAN and multicast addresses. 

GARP does not exist in a switch as an entity. A GARP participant is called a GARP 
application. The main GARP applications are GVRP and GMRP. GVRP is described 
in Configuring GARP/GVRP and GMRP is described in “GMRP” on page 203. 
When a GARP participant is on a port of the switch, each port corresponds to a 
GARP participant. 

Through GARP, configuration information on one GARP member is advertised to 
the entire switching network. A GARP member can be a terminal workstation or a 
bridge. A GARP member can notify other members to register or remove its
