GVRP Configuration Example 

GARP VLAN registration protocol (GVRP) is an implementation of generic attribute registration protocol 

(GARP). GARP is introduced as follows.  

The generic attribute registration protocol (GARP), provides a mechanism that allows participants in a 

GARP application to distribute, propagate, and register with other participants in a bridged LAN the 

attributes specific to the GARP application, such as the VLAN or multicast attribute.  

GARP itself does not exist on a device as an entity. GARP-compliant application entities are called 

GARP applications. One example is GVRP. When a GARP application entity is present on a port on 

your device, this port is regarded a GARP application entity. 

1) GARP 

messages 

GARP members communicate with each other through the messages exchanged between them. The 

messages performing important functions for GARP fall into three types: Join, Leave and LeaveAll. 

z 

When a GARP entity wants its attribute information to be registered on other devices, it sends Join 

messages to these devices. A GARP entity also sends Join messages when it receives Join 

messages from other entities or it wants some of its statically configured attributes to be registered 

on other GARP entities.  

z 

When a GARP entity wants some of its attributes to be deregistered on other devices, it sends 

Leave messages to these devices. A GARP entity also sends Leave messages when it receives 

Leave messages from other entities for deregistering some attributes or it has some attributes 

statically deregistered.  

z 

Once a GARP entity is launched, the LeaveAll timer is triggered at the same time. The GARP entity 

sends out LeaveAll messages after the timer times out. LeaveAll messages deregister all the 

attributes, through which the attribute information of the entity can be registered again on the other 

GARP entities.  

Leave messages, LeaveAll messages, together with Join messages ensure attribute information can be 

deregistered and re-registered.  

Through message exchange, all the attribute information to be registered can be propagated to all the 

GARP-enabled switches in the same LAN.
