GS716Tv3, GS724Tv4, and GS748Tv5 Smart Switches Multiple Registration Protocol Configuration1 Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) is a base registration protocol that enables devices running an MRP application to register attributes to other devices in a network. MRP provides an application to register attributes such as bandwidth requirement for a given AV stream and MAC address information. It is used by various applications to propagate the registration. The switch supports the following MRP applications: • Multiple MAC Reservation Protocol (MMRP) • Multiple Stream Reservation Protocol (MSRP) • Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP) MMRP allows for the propagation MAC address information in the network, and allows for the registration and deregistration of both individual MAC address information and group MAC address membership. End stations may request to join or leave a multicast group, or to register an individual MAC address with a specific VLAN. MAC address entries can be dynamically registered and deregistered if MMRP is administratively enabled on the switch. MSRP reserves necessary resources in the network to facilitate time sensitive traffic to flow end to end. In a typical network, there are multiple Talkers (those who transmit streams) and multiple Listeners (those who receive streams from one or many Talkers). Each flow has specific bandwidth, frame rate, and time sync requirements. With the use of MSRP these resources are guaranteed through all intermediate devices that are between any talker and listener. MVRP registers VLANs in the network, enabling automatic VLAN configuration on the switch. In a typical network, VLAN tagging is common. Many nodes require ingress traffic to be tagged with specific VLAN ID, and other nodes require egress traffic to be transmitted with a specific VLAN ID. With the use of MVRP on both ingress and egress, no manual VLAN configuration is required to pass tagged traffic through the network. Note: MRP framework must be available and enabled in all intermediate devices to ensure that the propagation of the attributes occurs throughout the network. 1. The Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) feature is available only with a valid license. To activate this feature, you must purchase a license. Configuring Switching 131

Multiple Registration Protocol Configuration
1
Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) is a base registration protocol that enables devices
running an MRP application to register attributes to other devices in a network. MRP provides
an application to register attributes such as bandwidth requirement for a given AV stream and
MAC address information. It is used by various applications to propagate the registration.
The switch supports the following MRP applications:
Multiple MAC Reservation Protocol (MMRP)
Multiple Stream Reservation Protocol (MSRP)
Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP)
MMRP
allows for the propagation MAC address information in the network, and allows for the
registration and deregistration of both individual MAC address information and group MAC
address membership. End stations may request to join or leave a multicast group, or to
register an individual MAC address with a specific VLAN. MAC address entries can be
dynamically registered and deregistered if MMRP is administratively enabled on the switch.
MSRP
reserves necessary resources in the network to facilitate time sensitive traffic to flow
end to end. In a typical network, there are multiple Talkers (those who transmit streams) and
multiple Listeners (those who receive streams from one or many Talkers). Each flow has
specific bandwidth, frame rate, and time sync requirements. With the use of MSRP these
resources are guaranteed through all intermediate devices that are between any talker and
listener.
MVRP
registers VLANs in the network, enabling automatic VLAN configuration on the switch.
In a typical network, VLAN tagging is common. Many nodes require ingress traffic to be
tagged with specific VLAN ID, and other nodes require egress traffic to be transmitted with a
specific VLAN ID. With the use of MVRP on both ingress and egress, no manual VLAN
configuration is required to pass tagged traffic through the network.
Note:
MRP framework must be available and enabled in all intermediate
devices to ensure that the propagation of the attributes occurs
throughout the network.
