Advanced Configuration information about an attribute, the entity sends a Leave message. The entity receiving the message starts Leave timer. If receiving no Join message before the timer expires, then the entity receiving the message cancels the information about the attribute. LeaveAll Timer: As a GARP application entity starts, it starts LeaveAll timer. When the timer expires, the entity sends a LeaveAll message, so that the other GARP application entities re-register all the attributes. Then the entity starts LeaveAll timer again for the new cycle. 6.21.2 GMRP The GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP) is a multicast registration protocol based on GARP. It is used for maintaining the multicast registration information of switches. All GMRP-enabled switches can receive multicast registration information from other switches, update local multicast registration information dynamically, and distribute local multicast registration information to other switches. This information exchange mechanism ensures the consistency of multicast information maintained by all GMRP-enabled switches on a network. If a switch or terminal wants to join or leave a multicast group, then the GMRP-enabled port broadcasts the information to all the ports in the same VLAN. 6.21.3 Description Agent port: indicates the port on which GMRP and the agent function are enabled. Propagation port: indicates the port on which only GMRP is enabled, but not the agent function. Dynamically learned GMRP multicast entry and agent entry are forwarded by the propagation port to the propagation ports of the lower-level devices. All GMRP timers on the same network must keep consistent to prevent mutual 125
