always has a name of Default. Use this field to change an existing Name. This field is optional.

VLAN Type What type of VLAN this is. A VLAN can be:

the Default VLAN (VLAN ID = 1).

a Static VLAN, one that you create using this panel or the config vlan create command.

a Dynamic VLAN, one that is created by GVRP registration.

In order to change a VLAN from Dynamic to Static, use this panel or the config vlan makestatic command.

Broadcast Storm Control Mode

Configures broadcast storm control mode on the VLAN. To Enable broadcast storm control on this VLAN, select Enable from the pull-down list. If storm control is Enabled, storms are controlled by counting the number of broadcast packets within a certain time period. If a count limit is exceeded, the packets are discarded. Only 64 combined broadcast and multicast storm rules are allowed to be configured at one time.

Broadcast Packets/Second

The rate at which the broadcast packets will begin being discarded. The valid range is 0 to 104856000 packets per second.

Mulitcast Storm Control Mode

Configures multicast storm control on the VLAN. To Enable multicast storm control on this VLAN, select Enable from the pull-down list. This command Enables or Disables multicast storm control for a particular VLAN. If storm control is Enabled, storms are controlled by counting the number of multicast packets within a certain time period. If a count limit is exceeded, the packets are discarded. Only 64 combined broadcast and multicast storm rules are allowed to be configured at one time.

Multicast Packets/Second

The rate level at which the multicast packets will begin being discarded. The valid range is 0 to 104856000 packets per second.

Port

Indicates which port is associated with the fields on this line.

Status

Displays the current degree of participation of this port in this VLAN. The

 

permissible values are:

 

Include

This port is always a member of this VLAN. This is equivalent to

 

 

registration fixed in the IEEE 802.1Q standard.

 

Exclude

This port is never a member of this VLAN. This is equivalent to

 

 

registration forbidden in the IEEE 802.1Q standard.

 

Autodetect

This port will not participate in this VLAN unless a GVRP join

 

 

request is received on this port. This is equivalent to registration

 

 

normal in the IEEE 802.1Q standard.

Participation

Use the pull-down menu to configure the degree of participation of this port in this

 

VLAN. The permissible values are:
