GARP and GVRP Support

The switch supports the configuration of Generic Attribute Registration

Protocol (GARP) timers GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) relies on

the services provided by GARP to provide IEEE 802.1Q-compliant VLAN

pruning and dynamic VLAN creation on 802.1Q trunk ports. When GVRP is

enabled, the switch registers and propagates VLAN membership on all ports

that are part of the active spanning tree protocol topology.
For information about configuring GARP timers see "Configuring L2

Multicast Features" on page 713.

Voice VLAN

The Voice VLAN feature enables switch ports to carry voice traffic with

defined priority. The priority level enables the separation of voice and data

traffic coming onto the port.

Guest VLAN

The Guest VLAN feature allows a switch to provide a distinguished service to

unauthenticated users. This feature provides a mechanism to allow visitors

and contractors to have network access to reach external network with no

ability to browse information on the internal LAN.
For information about configuring the Guest VLAN see "Configuring 802.1X

and Port-Based Security" on page 509.

Double VLANs

The Double VLAN feature (IEEE 802.1QinQ) allows the use of a second tag

on network traffic. The additional tag helps differentiate between customers

in the Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN) while preserving individual

customer’s VLAN identification when they enter their own 802.1Q domain.
