GVRP Commands
The GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) allows network devices to
share VLAN information. The main purpose of GVRP is to allow switches
to automatically discover some of the VLAN information that would
otherwise need to be manually configured in each switch. This is helpful in
networks where VLANs span more than one switch. Without GVRP, you
must manually configure your switches to ensure that the various parts of
a VLAN can communicate across the different switches. GVRP, which is
an application of the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP), does
this for you automatically.
