Defining GARP
Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) protocol is a general-purpose protocol that registers any network
connectivity or membership-style information. GARP defines a set of devices interested in a given network
attribute, such as VLAN or multicast address. When configuring GARP, ensure the following:
• The leave time must be greater than or equal to three times the join time.
• The leave-all time must be greater than the leave time.
• Set the same GARP timer values on all Layer 2-connected devices. If the GARP timers are set differently on
the Layer 2-connected devices, the GARP application does not operate successfully.
To define GARP on the device:
1. Click Advanced Setup > VLAN > GARP > GARP Parameters. The GARP Parameters Page opens:
Figure 77: GARP Parameters Page
The GARP Parameters Page contains the following fields:
• Unit No. — Displays the stacking member for which the GARP parameters are displayed.
• Copy from Entry Number — Indicates the row number from which GARP parameters are copied.
• To Row Number — Indicates the row number to which GARP parameters are copied.
• Interface — Displays the port or LAG on which GARP is enabled.
