GARP

Layer 2 Management > GARP

• Select—click to select the context for starting or shutting down GARP module.
• Context—displays the virtual context ID that uniquely represents a virtual switch created in the physical switch. This value ranges from 0 to 65535. The default value is 0.

• GARP Status—select status requested by management for GARP. The default option is Start for the default context ID (0) and Shutdown for other context IDs. The list contains:
  • Start—enables GARP in the switch on all ports. GMRP and GVRP are enabled explicitly, once the disabled GARP is enabled.
  • Shutdown—disables GARP in the switch on all ports
  Note:

  To shutdown GARP functionality, Dynamic VLAN and Multicast should be disabled in the Dynamic VLAN and GMRP Global Configuration screens.

• Apply—modifies attributes and saves the changes.

• Configure GARP Trace Option—click to access the GARP Traces.

Layer 2 Management > GARP > GARP Configuration screen.

Click Configure GARP Trace Options button.

• GARP Global Trace—select the global status of the GARP trace to set the VLAN trace status for all virtual switches in the switch. The list contains:
  • ENABLE—enables the GARP traces in the switch for all virtual switches. The debug statement is generated for the selected traces.
  • DISABLE—disables the GARP traces in the switch for all virtual switches. The debug statement is not generated for any of the traces, even if the specific trace is selected.
• Select—click to select the context for which the trace levels need to be set.
• Context—displays the virtual context ID that uniquely represents a virtual switch created in the physical switch. This value ranges from 0 to 65535. The default value is 0.
• Debug Trace Options—select traces for which debug statements is needed:
  • Init-Shut—generates debug statements for init and shutdown traces. This trace is generated on failed initialization and shutting down of GARP related entries.
  • Management—generates debug statements for management traces. This trace is generated during failure in configuration of any of the GARP features.
  • Memory—generates debug statements for data path traces. This trace is generated during failure in packet processing.
  • BPDU—generates debug statements for BPDU traces. This trace is generated during failure in modification or retrieving of GARP entries.
  • Events—generates debug statements for packet dump traces. This trace is currently not used in GARP module.
  • Timer—generates debug statements for OS resource related traces. This trace is generated during failure in message queues.
  • All-Failures—generates debug statements for all failure traces of the above-mentioned traces.
  • Buffer—generates debug statements for GARP buffer related traces. This trace is currently not used in GARP module.
• Debug Module Options—select the module for which debug statements is to be generated. The options are:
  • GARP—Generates the debug statements for the GARP module.
  • GMRP—Generates the debug statements for the GMRP module.
  • GVMRP—Generates the debug statements for the GVRP module.
  • Redundancy—Generates the debug statements for the GARP redundancy module

• Submit—selects the status of the Global Trace and saves the changes.
• Apply—modifies attributes and saves the changes.

• Configure GARP Trace Option—accesses the GARP Configuration screen.
