| information with other devices. For example, with GVRP function enabled | |
| on two switches, the switches are able to automatically exchange the | |
| information of their VLAN database. Therefore, the administrator doesn’t | |
| need to manually configure whether the link is trunk or hybrid, the | |
| packets belonging to the same VLAN can communicate across switches. | |
| Mark this checkbox to enable GVRP protocol. This checkbox is available | |
| while the VLAN Operation Mode is in 802.1Q mode. | |
Port | To select the port you want to configure | |
| This feature allows the administrator to decide a certain port to be an | |
| Access Link, a Trunk Link, or a Hybrid Link. | |
| ¾ Access Link: A segment which provides the link path for one or more | |
| stations to the | |
| connected to the access link, has an untagged VID (also called | |
| PVID). After an untagged frame gets into the access port, the switch | |
| will insert a | |
| of the tag is untagged VID. When this frame is sent out through any of | |
| the access port of the same PVID, the switch will remove the tag from | |
| the frame to recover it to what it was. Those ports of the same | |
Link Type | untagged VID are considered as the same VLAN group members. | |
¾ Trunk Link: A segment which provides the link path for one or more | ||
| ||
| ||
| link, has an understanding of tagged frame, which is used for the | |
| communication among VLANs across switches. Which frames of the | |
| specified VIDs will be forwarded depend on the values filled in the | |
| Tagged VID column field. Please insert a comma between two VIDs. | |
| ¾ Hybrid Link: A segment which consists of Access and Trunk links. The | |
| hybrid port has both the features of access and trunk ports. A hybrid | |
| port has a PVID belonging to a particular VLAN, and it also forwards | |
| the specified | |
| across switches. | |
Untagged VID | This column field is available when Link Type is set as Access Link or | |
Hybrid Link. Assign a number ranging from 1 to 4094. | ||

Tagged VID | This column field is available when Link Type is set as Trunk Link or | |
Hybrid Link. Assign a number ranging from 1 to 4094. | ||

Since the access port doesn’t have an understanding of tagged frames, the column field of Tagged VID will not be available when the port is configured as an Access Link.
1.A trunk port doesn’t insert tag into an untagged frame, and therefore the untagged VID column field is not available when the port is configured as a Trunk Link.
2.It’s not necessary to type ‘1’ in the tagged VID. The trunk port will forward the frames of VLAN 1.
3.The trunk port has to be connected to a trunk/hybrid port of the other switch. Both the tagged VID of the two ports have to be the same.
1.It’s not necessary to type ‘1’ in the tagged VID. The hybrid port will forward the frames of VLAN 1.
2.The hybrid port has to be connected to a trunk/hybrid port of the other switch. Both the tagged VID of the two ports have to be the same.
