GARP Timers Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) is a general-purpose protocol that registers network connectivity or membership-style information. GARP defines a set of devices interested in a given network attribute, such as VLAN information or the Multicast address. GARP provides a generic framework whereby devices in a bridged LAN, such as end stations and switches, can register and de-register attribute values, such as VLAN identifiers, with each other. In doing so, these attributes are propagated to devices in the bridged LAN, and these devices form a reachability tree that is a subset of an active topology. GARP defines the architecture, rules of operation, state machines and variables for the registration and deregistration of attribute values. 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, GARP application does not operate successfully. To enable a GARP timer on an interface: 1 Click Network Administration > VLAN > Standard VLAN > GARP Timers. The GARP timers are displayed. 2 Select either Ports or LAGs to view that type of interface in the page. 3 Click Edit. 4 Select a port, click its Edit icon and enter the fields: - GARP Join Timer (mSec) - Enter the time during which Protocol Data Units (PDU) are transmitted.

GARP Timers
Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) is a general-purpose protocol
that registers network connectivity or membership-style information. GARP
defines a set of devices interested in a given network attribute, such as VLAN
information or the Multicast address.
GARP provides a generic framework whereby devices in a bridged LAN, such
as end stations and switches, can register and de-register attribute values,
such as VLAN identifiers, with each other. In doing so, these attributes are
propagated to devices in the bridged LAN, and these devices form a
reachability tree that is a subset of an active topology. GARP defines the
architecture, rules of operation, state machines and variables for the
registration and deregistration of attribute values.
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, GARP
application does not operate successfully.
