Chapter 5 MULTICAST PROTOCOL

CONFIGURATION

5.1 Brief introduction of GMRP

GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol) is a kind of application of GARP (Generic

Attribute Registration Protocol) , which is based on GARP working mechanism to maintain the

dynamic multicast register information in switch. All switches supported GMRP can receive

multicast register information from other switches and upgrade local multicast register

information dynamically and transfer it to other switches to make the consistency of multicast

information of devices supported GMRP in the same switching network. Multicast register

information transferred by GMRP includes local manual configuration of static multicast

5.2 GMRP Configuration

5.2.1 GMRP Configuration list

In all configurations, enable global GMRP first before enable GMRP on a port. GMRP

Configuration list is as following:

 Enable/disable global GMRP

 Enable/disable GMRP on a port

 Display GMRP

 Add/delete multicast that can be dynamic learnt by GMRP

 Display multicast that can be learnt by GMRP

5.2.2 Enable/disable global GMRP

Please configure it in global configuration mode:

 Enable global GMRP

gmrp

 Disable global GMRP

no gmrp

By default, GMRP globally disables

For example:

! Enable GMRP globally

QTECH(config)#gmrp

5.2.3 Enable/disable GMRP on a port

Enable global GMRP before enable GMRP on a port. Please configure it in interface

configuration mode:

 Enable GMRP on a port

gmrp

 Disable GMRP on a port

no gmrp

For example:

! Enable GMRP on Ethernet port 3
