Parameter

Description

Bridge Capability

 

Extended Multicast Filtering

This switch does not support filtering of individual multicast

Services

addresses based on GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol).

Traffic Classes

This switch provides the mapping of user priorities to multiple traffic

 

classes. (Refer to 802.1P Configuration.)

Static Entry Individual Port

This switch allows static filtering for unicast and multicast addresses.

 

(Refer to Network Monitor Menu / Static Unicast Address Table

 

Configuration and Static Multicast Address Table Configuration.)

VLAN Learning

This switch uses Independent VLAN Learning (IVL), whereby each

 

port maintains its own VLAN filtering database.

Configurable PVID Tagging

This switch allows you to override the default PVID setting (Port

 

VLAN ID used in frame tags) and its egress status (VLAN-Tagged or

 

Untagged) on each port. (Refer to 802.1Q VLAN Port Configuration.)

Local VLAN Capable

This switch does not support multiple local bridges (that is, multiple

 

Spanning Trees).

Bridge Settings

 

Traffic Class

Multiple traffic classes are supported by this switch as indicated

 

under Bridge Capabilities. However, the switch supports just two

 

priority queues and only the default port priority can be configured.

 

The switch does not support the configuration of traffic class

 

mapping. Therefore, this parameter under Bridge Settings is set to

 

False and cannot be enabled.

Note: This switch does not support GVRP or GMRP. Therefore, the GVRP and GMRP parameters are always disabled.
