Only the GARP normal registration mode is currently supported.

Multiple instances of zgmrpd may run concurrently provided the targets are unique. However,
zgmrpd cannot run concurrently with zsnoopd. See zsnoopd.

OPTIONS

-d <level>
Sets the level of debugging output required by zgmrpd. The

default level is zero (0). Setting the debug level higher
produces more output. Five (5) is currently the maximum output

level.

-f

Run zgmrpd in foreground. Default is to run it in

background.

-h <hostname>

Connect to remote host <hostname>.

-p <ppa>
Start zgmrpd on switch <ppa>. Default is 0.

-t <target>

Enable GMRP on the set of ports specified by the target, either a
zhp or bzhp interface. There is no default. A target must be

specified.

EXAMPLES

In the following example, zgmrpd starts a background task that enables the GMRP protocol for
the ports in the zhp0 interface. zgmrpd receives and sends GMRP packets, and updates the
Multicast Table (MARL) accordingly. This background task continues throughout the life of the
Layer 2 network, or until manually terminated.

zgmrpd –t zhp0

Once you run zgmrpd, use zmarl to display the contents of the MARL. zgmrpd deletes all
entries in the MARL when starting up, and when shutting down. Manual changes to the MARL
can be made while zgmrpd is running. However, all such changes will be deleted when zgmrpd
is terminated.
