6.3.4 (Optional) Setting the GARP Timers
Context
When a GARP participant is enabled, the LeaveAll timer is started. When the LeaveAll timer
expires, the GARP participant sends LeaveAll messages to request other GARP participants to
re-register all its attributes. Then the LeaveAll timer restarts.
Devices on a network may have different settings of the LeaveAll timer. In this case, all the
devices use the smallest LeaveAll timer value on the network. When the LeaveAll timer of a
device expires, the device sends LeaveAll messages to other devices. After other devices receive
the LeaveAll messages, they reset their LeaveAll timers. Therefore, only the LeavelAll timer
with the smallest value takes effect even if devices have different settings of the LeaveAll timer.
When using the garp timer command to set the GARP timers, pay attention to the following
points:
l The undo garp timer command restores the default values of the GARP timers. If the
default value of a timer is out of the valid range, the undo garp timer command does not
take effect.
l The value range of each timer changes with the values of the other timers. If a value you
set for a timer is not in the allowed range, you can change the value of the timer that
determines the value range of this timer.
l To restore the default values of all the GARP timers, restore the Hold timer to the default
value, and then restore the Join timer, Leave timer, and LeaveAll timer to the default values
in sequence.
NOTE
In actual application, it is recommended that you use the following values of the GVRP timers:
l GARP Hold timer: 100 centiseconds (1 second)
l GARP Join timer: 600 centiseconds (6 seconds)
l GARP Leave timer: 3000 centiseconds (30 seconds)
l GARP LeaveAll timer: 12000 centiseconds (2 minutes)
When more than 100 dynamic VLANs are created, use the preceding recommended values. When the
number of dynamic VLANs increases, lengths of the GARP timers need to be increased.
