GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is a protocol that facilitates control of virtual
local area networks (VLANs) within a larger network. GVRP conforms to the IEEE
802.1Q specification, which defines a method of tagging frames with VLAN
configuration data. This allows network devices to dynamically exchange VLAN
configuration information with other devices.
GVRP is based on GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol), a protocol that
defines procedures by which end stations and switches in a local area network (LAN)
can register and de-register attributes, such as identifiers or addresses, with each

Every end station and switch thus has a current record of all the other end stations and
switches that can be reached.
