3.13 GVRP
GVRP is an application based on Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP), mainly used to automatically and dynamically
maintain the group membership information of the VLANs. The GVRP offers the function providing the VLAN registration service
through a GARP application. It makes use of GARP Information Declaration (GID) to maintain the ports associated with their
attribute database and GARP Information Propagation (GIP) to communicate among switches and end stations. With GID
information and GIP, GVRP-state machines maintain the contents of Dynamic VLAN Registration Entries for each VLAN and
propagate these information to other GVRP-aware devices to set up and update their knowledge database, the set of VLANs
associated with currently active members, and through which ports these members can be reached.
