| From Port / To Port |
| These two fields allow you to specify the range of ports that will be included in the |
|
|
|
| VLAN that you are creating using the 802.1Q Port Settings window. |
|
| GVRP |
| The Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) enables the port to dynamically become a |
|
|
|
| member of a VLAN. GVRP is Disabled by default. |
|
| PVID |
| The |
|
|
|
| port, which may be manually assigned to a VLAN when created in the 802.1Q Port Settings |
|
|
|
| table. The Switch's default is to assign all ports to the default VLAN with a VID of 1. The PVID |
|
|
|
| is used by the port to tag outgoing, untagged packets, and to make filtering decisions about |
|
|
|
| incoming packets. If the port is specified to accept only tagged frames - as tagging, and an |
|
|
|
| untagged packet is forwarded to the port for transmission, the port will add an 802.1Q tag |
|
|
|
| using the PVID to write the VID in the tag. When the packet arrives at its destination, the |
|
|
|
| receiving device will use the PVID to make VLAN forwarding decisions. If the port receives a |
|
|
|
| packet, and Ingress filtering is enabled, the port will compare the VID of the incoming packet |
|
|
|
| to its PVID. If the two are unequal, the port will drop the packet. If the two are equal, the port |
|
|
|
| will receive the packet. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Ingress Check |
| This field can be toggled using the space bar between Enabled and Disabled. Enabled |
|
|
|
| enables the port to compare the VID tag of an incoming packet with the PVID number |
|
|
|
| assigned to the port. If the two are different, the port filters (drops) the packet. Disabled |
|
|
|
| disables ingress filtering. Ingress Checking is Disabled by default. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Acceptable Frame |
| This field denotes the type of frame that will be accepted by the port. The user may choose |
|
| Type |
| between Tagged Only, which means only VLAN tagged frames will be accepted, and |
|
|
|
| Admit_All, which mean both tagged and untagged frames will be accepted. Admit_All is |
|
|
|
| enabled by default. |

GVRP Global Settings
The GVRP allows interoperability with other switches, so the values of the GVRP timers can be configured. This table is used to set the GVRP Global Settings.
To view this window, click L2 Features > GVRP Global Settings as shown below:
Figure 3 - 20 GVRP Timer Settings window
The following fields can be set:
Parameter Description
Join Time | The time in milliseconds that specifies the amount of time between the Switch receiving the |
| information about becoming a member of the group and actually joining the group. The default |
| is 200. |
Leave Time | The time in milliseconds that specifies the maximum amount of time between the Switch |
receiving a leave group message from a host, and the Switch issuing a group membership | |
| query. The default is 600. The Leave Time must be greater than 2 join times. |
