To enable or disable globally the GARP Multicast Registration Protocol ( GMRP) feature on all ports, use the command set garp timer in Interface Configuration Mode. GMRP uses the services of GARP to propagate multicast information to the bridges in a LAN. This information allows GMRP aware devices to reduce the transmission of multicast traffic to the LANs, which do not have any members of that multicast group. GMRP registers and de-registers the group membership information and group service requirement information with the GARP.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
join
|
Enter to configure the time interval (in milli-seconds)
till which a GARP participant should wait for its join message to
be acknowledged before re-sending the join message. The join message
is re-transmitted only once, if the initial message is not acknowledged.
This time is started, once the initial join message is sent. The
join message is sent by a GARP participant to another GARP participant
for registering:
|
|
<time in milli seconds>
|
Integer | Enter a value for the time interval. This value can be multiple of tens only (that is, as 210, 220, 230 and so on) This value should satisfy the condition: GarpJoinTime > 0 and (2*GarpJoinTime) < GarpLeaveTime. |
leave
|
Enter to configure the time interval (in milli-seconds)
till which a GARP participant should wait for any join message before
removing attribute details (that is, waiting time for a registrar
to move from empty state (MT) to leave state (LV)). This time is
started, once a leave message is sent to de-register the attribute
details. The leave messages are sent from a GARP participant to
another participant, when:
|
|
<time in milli seconds>
|
Integer | Enter a value for the time interval. This value can be multiple of tens only (that is, as 610, 620, 630 and so on). The leave time should be greater than or two times as that of the GarpJoinTime. That is, the maximum value of the leave time cannot be more than two times of the join time. For example, if you configure join time as 500 milliseconds, then the leave time value can be from 510 milliseconds to 1000 milliseconds only. |
leaveall
|
Enter to configure the time interval (in milli-seconds)
till which the details of the registered attributes are maintained.
The attribute details should be re-registered after this time interval.
A leaveall message is sent from a GARP participant to other GARP
participants, after this time interval. This time is started, once
a GARP participant starts/once re-registration is done. The leaveall
messages are sent from a GARP participant to other participants
for:
|
|
<time in milli seconds>
|
Integer | Enter a value for the time interval. This value can be multiple of tens only (that is, as 10010, 10020 and so on). The “leaveall time” should be greater than 0 and greater than GarpLeaveTime. |
