GVRP Configuration
Configuring GVRP
Introduction
GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol GARP VLAN) is a GARP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol
GARP VLAN) application that provides IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLAN pruning and dynamic VLAN creation on
802.1Q trunk ports.
With GVRP, the switch can exchange the VLAN configuration information with the other GVRP switches,
prune the unnecessary broadcast and unknown unicast traffic, and dynamically create and manage the
VLANs on the switches that are connected through the 802.1Q trunk ports.
