Configure GVRP Registration
Configure GVRP registration.
There are two GVRP registration modes:
• Fixed Registration Mode — figuring a port in fixed registration mode allows for manual creation and
registration of VLANs, prevents VLAN deregistration, and registers all VLANs known on other ports on
the port. For example, if an interface is statically configured via the CLI to belong to a VLAN, it should
not be unconfigured when it receives a Leave PDU. Therefore, the registration mode on that interface is
FIXED.
• Forbidden Mode — Disables the port to dynamically register VLANs and to propagate VLAN information
except information about VLAN 1. A port with forbidden registration type thus allows only VLAN 1 to
pass through even though the PDU carries information for more VLANs. Therefore, if you do not want
the interface to advertise or learn about particular VLANS, set the interface to the registration mode of
FORBIDDEN.
Based on the configuration in the following example, the interface is not removed from VLAN 34 or VLAN 35
despite receiving a GVRP Leave message. Additionally, the interface is not dynamically added to VLAN 45 or
VLAN 46, even if a GVRP Join message is received.
Example of the gvrp registration Command
Dell(conf-if-te-1/21)#gvrp registration fixed 34,35
Dell(conf-if-te-1/21)#gvrp registration forbidden 45,46
Dell(conf-if-te-1/21)#show conf

Configure a GARP Timer
Set GARP timers to the same values on all devices that are exchanging information using GVRP.
There are three GARP timer settings.
• Join — A GARP device reliably transmits Join messages to other devices by sending each Join message
two times. To define the interval between the two sending operations of each Join message, use this
parameter. The Dell Networking OS default is 200ms.
• Leave — When a GARP device expects to de-register a piece of attribute information, it sends out a
Leave message and starts this timer. If a Join message does not arrive before the timer expires, the
information is de-registered. The Leave timer must be greater than or equal to 3x the Join timer. The
Dell Networking OS default is 600ms.
• LeaveAll — After startup, a GARP device globally starts a LeaveAll timer. After expiration of this interval, it
sends out a LeaveAll message so that other GARP devices can re-register all relevant attribute
information. The device then restarts the LeaveAll timer to begin a new cycle. The LeaveAll timer must
be greater than or equal to 5x of the Leave timer. The Dell Networking OS default is 10000ms.
