Configuring GVRP 113
n
Because GVRP is not compatible with the BPDU tunneling feature, you must 
disable BPDU tunneling before enabling GVRP on a BPDU tunneling-enabled 
Ethernet port.
Configuring GARP
Timers
Follow these steps to configure GARP timers:
As for the GARP timers, note that:
■ The setting of each timer must be a multiple of five (in centiseconds).
■ The settings of the timers are correlated. If you fail to set a timer to a certain 
value, you can try to adjust the settings of the rest timers. Table 26 shows the 
relationship of the timers.
