> Hi,
> 
> GARP stands for Generic Attribute Registration Protocol. GVRP(GARP
> VLAN Registration Protocol) allows for the control of IEEE 802.1q
> VLANs. As I understand GVRP provides dynamic creation and management
> of VLANs, including pruning of unnecessary broadcasts and unicasts on
> switches connected through 802.1q trunk ports. This sounds very
> familiar to Cisco VTP. In addition, GARP standard specifies a GARP
> Multicast Registration Protocol(GMRP), which allows bridges and
> switches to register a multicast group membership. Latter sounds
> similar to IGMP snooping.
> Is GARP used/supported on Cisco equipment? If yes, has anyone used it
> instead of Cisco alternatives?
