GVRP stands for GARP VLAN Registration Protocol and is a GARP application that
registers and deregisters VLAN attributes. It uses Generic Attribute Registration Protocol
(GARP), to maintain and propagate dynamic VLAN registration information, throughout
GVRP enabled devices on the network.
GVRP lets a device to propagate local VLAN registration information to other participant
devices, and to dynamically update the VLAN registration information from other devices to
its local database, including active VLAN members and through which port they can be
reached. All GVRP participants on a bridged LAN maintain the same VLAN registration
information. The VLAN registration information includes both manually configured local
static entries and dynamic entries from other devices.
1. Normal allows dynamic VLAN registration and deregistration on the trunk port, and
allows the declarations for dynamic and static VLANs to be sent.
2. Fixed prevents dynamic VLAN registration and deregistration on the trunk port, and
allows only the declarations for static VLANs to be sent.
3. Forbidden prevents dynamic VLAN registration and deregistration on the trunk port,
and allows only the declarations for VLAN 1 to be sent.
Lets look at our topology. What we want to do is to check how GVRP works:
GARP identifies applications through destination MAC addresses. IEEE 802.1Q assigns 01-
80-C2-00-00-21 to the VLAN application (GVRP):
Create VLANs 100, 150 and 200 on Access SW1 (configuration of Access SW2 is omitted
here):
Configure trunks between Access switches and Distribute switch and permit all VLANs to
pass through (configuration of Distribution SW is omitted here):
[Access SW1]gvrp
[Access SW1-GigabitEthernet0/0/2]gvrp
Verification:
dynamic vlan:
Total 0 dynamic vlan.
reserved vlan:
Total 0 reserved vlan.
dynamic vlan:
Total 1 dynamic vlan.
200
reserved vlan:
Total 0 reserved vlan.
dynamic vlan:
Total 3 dynamic vlan.
100 150 200
reserved vlan:
Total 0 reserved vlan.
PC1>ping 10.0.0.2
PC2>ping 10.0.1.6
Now configure GVRP registration mode as fixed on the trunk between Access SW1 and
Distribution SW:
dynamic vlan:
Total 2 dynamic vlan.
100 150
reserved vlan:
Total 0 reserved vlan.
dynamic vlan:
Total 0 dynamic vlan.
reserved vlan:
Total 0 reserved vlan.
