DGS-3700-12/DGS-3700-12G Series Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch User Manual

 

 

The following fields can be set:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Parameter

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Port / To Port

 

These two fields allow you to specify the range of ports that will be included in the Port-based

 

 

 

 

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 read-only field in the 802.1Q Port Table shows the current PVID assignment for each

 

 

 

 

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

(100-100000)

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

(100-100000)

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.
