Manageable 8/9-Port Switch

REMOTE VLAN MEMBERSHIP

Additionally to providing network management tools that allow network administrators to statically add and delete VLAN member ports, the switch also supports GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol). GVRP allows for dynamic registration of VLAN port members within switch and across multiple switches.

Other than supporting dynamic updating of registration entries in a switch, GVRP is used to communicate VLAN registration information to other VLAN-aware switches, so that a VLAN member can cover a wide span of switches on a network.

GVRP allows both VLAN-aware workstations and switches to issue and revoke VLAN memberships. VLAN-aware switches register a propagate VLAN membership to all ports that belong to the active topology of the VLAN.

VLAN CONFIGURATION

The switch provides a Local/Remote Management Console Interface for VLAN configuration and management. An SNMP-based VLAN MIB is also provided.

INTRA-VLAN COMMUNICATION

The switch supports intra-VLAN communication through hardware as described in "Basic Functions" section.

INTER-VLAN COMMUNICATION

The switch supports Inter-VLAN communication using CPU-based routing software.

GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol)

In addition to network management tools that allow network administrators to statically add and delete VLAN member ports, the routing switch supports GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP). GVRP supports dynamic registration of VLAN port members within a switch and across multiple switches.

In addition to dynamically updating registration entries with a switch, GVRP is used to communicate VLAN registration information to other VLAN-aware switches, so that members of a VLAN can cover a wide span of switches on a network.

GVRP allows both VLAN-aware workstations and switches to issue and revoke VLAN memberships. VLAN-aware switches register and propagate VLAN membership to all ports that are part of the active topology of the VLAN.

IGMP SNOOPING AND IP MULTICAST FILTERING

The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) runs between hosts and their immediately neighboring multicast routers. The protocol’s mechanisms allow a host to inform its local router that it wants to receive transmissions addressed to a specific multicast group.

Routers periodically query the LAN to determine if known group members are still active.
