GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP)
GMRP propagates group membership throughout a network.
GMRP allows end stations and SFTOS Switching devices to issue and revoke
declarations relating to group membership.
(De)registration updates the Multicast Forwarding Database—multicast packets only
forwarded through ports with a GMRP registration.
GMRP is disabled by default—user must enable GMRP for the switch and then for
individual ports.
GMRP is part of the SFTOS Switching package and:
Interacts with the Spanning Tree Protocol, GARP, and the Multicast Forwarding Database
Requires Independent VLAN Learning
There is an instance of GMRP for each VLAN.
MAC addresses are qualified by the 2-byte VLAN ID.
SFTOS GMRP complies with:
IEEE 802.1D Clause 10
GMRP port configuration and status table from RFC 2674
SFTOS limitations:
Default filtering behavior is not supported.
Static entries are not coordinated.
