This read-write value sets the GVRP Join timer for a port, measured in centiseconds, controlling how long the port waits before transmitting a Join message during GARP protocol operation. Admins tune this timer to control how quickly VLAN membership information propagates across GVRP-enabled ports without flooding the network with excessive GARP traffic. For example, shortening this Join time on a port connecting to a fast-changing VLAN topology would make VLAN registrations propagate to that neighbor more quickly.
