When the Switch receives a GVRP message that indicates a reception port wants to join a specific VLAN, the Switch will automatically learn the VLAN membership of the reception port. The dynamic VLAN membership of a port will be automatically removed by either the timeout mechanism or when the Switch receives another GVRP message that indicates the port is going to leave a specific VLAN. Any dynamic member ports that were automatically learned by GVRP will become tagged member ports. GVRP also provides a mechanism to propagate GVRP messages to uplink ports for automatically registering VLAN memberships. This propagation allows the partner switch to automatically learn that the partner port is a member port of the advertised VLAN. GARP Configuration Commands The following is a list of commands that are necessary to configure the GARP function on the DGS6600 Series Switch: • Enabling the GVRP Protocol • Specifying Forbidden Ports • Specifying the GVRP Timer • Enabling the Dynamic Creation of VLANs • Configuring the Interface Advertisement Attribute DGS-6600 Configuration Guide 117
