3-3 GVRP Introduction Introduction GVRP—GARP VLAN Registration Pr otocol—is an application of the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol—GARP . GVRP is defined in the IEEE 802.1Q standard, and GARP is defined in the IEEE 802.1D-1998 standard. Note T o unde rstand and use GVRP you must have a working know ledge of 802.1Q VLAN tagging. (See ?[...]

3-4 GVRP Introduction General Operation When GVRP is enabled on a switch, the VID for any static VLANs configured on the switch is advertised (using BPDUs—Bridge Prot ocol Data Units) out all ports, regardless of whether a port is up or assigned to any p articular VLAN. A GVRP-aware port on an other device th at receives the adve rtisements over [...]

3-5 GVRP Introduction Note that if a static VLAN is configu r ed on at least one port of a swi tch, and that port has established a link with anot her device, then all other ports of that switch will send advert is ements for that VLAN. For example, in the follo wing figure, T agged VLAN ports on switch “A” and switch “C” advertise VLANs 22[...]

3-6 GVRP Introduction ■ If the switch already has a static VLAN assignment with the same VID as in the advertisement, and the port is configured to Auto for that VLAN, then the port wi ll dynamically join the VLAN and begin moving that VLAN’ s traffic.
