12.1 GMRP introduce

At present, GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol) is a multicast registration

protocol based on GARP, which is used to maintain the multicast registration information in the

switch. All the support GMRP switch can receive the multicast registration information from other

switches, and dynamically update the local multicast registration information, but also to the local

multicast registration information spread to other switches. This information exchange mechanism

ensures the consistency of multicast information maintained by all GMRP supported devices in the

same switching network。
