shutdown garp

To shut down the Generic Attribute Registration Protocol ( GARP) module in the switch on all ports and release all memories used for the GARP module, use the command shutdown garp in Global Configuration Mode. The no form of the command starts and enables the GARP module in the switch on all ports. GMRP and GVRP are enabled explicitly, once the disabled GARP is enabled. GARP Multicast Registration Protocol ( GMRP) is a Generic Attribute Registration Protocol application that provides a constrained multicast flooding facility similar to IGMP snooping. GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol or Generic VLAN Registration Protocol) is the GARP -based protocol mechanism, maintaining the VLAN information in the switch dynamically. GARP is used to synchronize attribute information between the bridges in the LAN. It allows registering and unregistering of attribute values, which are disseminated into the backbone of the GARP participants.
