Timer  Lower threshold  Upper threshold 
Hold 10 centiseconds 
This upper threshold is less than or 
equal to one-half of the timeout time 
of the Join timer. You can change 
the threshold by changing the 
timeout time of the Join timer. 
Join 
This lower threshold is greater than or 
equal to twice the timeout time of the 
Hold timer. You can change the 
threshold by changing the timeout time 
of the Hold timer. 
This upper threshold is less than 
one-half of the timeout time of the 
Leave timer. You can change the 
threshold by changing the timeout 
time of the Leave timer. 
Leave 
This lower threshold is greater than 
twice the timeout time of the Join timer. 
You can change the threshold by 
changing the timeout time of the Join 
timer. 
This upper threshold is less than the 
timeout time of the LeaveAll timer. 
You can change the threshold by 
changing the timeout time of the 
LeaveAll timer. 
LeaveAll 
This lower threshold is greater than the 
timeout time of the Leave timer. You 
can change threshold by changing the 
timeout time of the Leave timer. 
32,765 centiseconds 
 
 
The following are recommended GVRP timer settings: 
z  GARP hold timer: 100 centiseconds (1 second) 
z  GARP Join timer: 600 centiseconds (6 seconds) 
z  GARP Leave timer: 3000 centiseconds (30 seconds) 
z  GARP LeaveAll timer: 120000 centiseconds (2 minutes)
