The Device View
VLAN and Priority Configuration
For firmware versions 5.0.x and higher, the Bridge Extension Configuration windows allow you to define and configure 802.1Q VLANs and port priority for your SmartSwitch 6000 and Matrix E7 modules. Define your VLANs using the VLAN Configuration window, which allows you to assign VLAN IDs and VLAN names, and enable or disable VLANs.
After your VLANs are defined, you can configure basic and advanced VLAN parameters and VLAN port egress lists using the VLAN Port Configuration windows and the VLAN Egress Port Configuration window, respectively.
Bridge Extension functionality also lets you configure port priority and traffic classes using the Port Priority and Port Traffic Classes windows. Additional priority windows also allow you to configure GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol) times and enable GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol) on each port.
Configuring Bridge and Bridge Port Capability
Use the Bridge Extension Configuration window to view the bridge extension functionality implemented on the device, and enable or disable Traffic Classes, GMRP, and GVRP at the device level (if supported). You can also access further configuration windows using the VLAN and Priority buttons at the bottom of the window.
