GARP Commands
This section describes the commands used to configure Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP)
and view GARP status. The commands in this section aect both GARP VLAN Registration Protocol
(GVRP) and GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP). GARP is a protocol that allows client
stations to register with the switch for membership in VLANS (by using GVMP) or multicast groups (by
using GVMP).
set garp timer join
This command sets the GVRP join time per GARP for one interface, a range of interfaces, or all
interfaces. Join time is the interval between the transmission of GARP Protocol Data Units (PDUs)
registering (or reregistering) membership for a VLAN or multicast group. This command has an eect
only when GVRP is enabled. The time is from 10 to 100 (centiseconds). The value 20 centiseconds is 0.2
seconds.

set garp timer leave
This command sets the GVRP leave time for one interface, a range of interfaces, or all interfaces or all
ports and only has an eect when GVRP is enabled. Leave time is the time to wait after receiving an
unregister request for a VLAN or a multicast group before deleting the VLAN entry. This can be
considered a buer time for another station to assert registration for the same attribute in order to
maintain uninterrupted service. The leave time is 20 to 600 (centiseconds). The value 60 centiseconds
is 0.6 seconds. The leave time must be greater than or equal to three times the join time.
