Field

Description

 

 

IP Address

The IP address that corresponds to the MAC address.

 

 

MAC Address

The MAC address that corresponds to the IP address.

 

 

Type

The method that was used to enter the MAC address and IP address pair

into the ARP table. The possible entries are Static, Dynamic, and Local.

 

 

 

Status

To view GVRP Status

1.In the left panel, click Network Monitoring.

2.In the top panel under Status, click GVRP Status.

The screen contains this information.

Field

Description

 

 

IEEE 802.1Q VLAN ID

The ID assigned to the currently displayed VLAN.

 

 

 

The status of the VLAN, whether it is a permanent

Status

definition or whether the ports dynamically joined the

 

VLAN.

 

 

Creation time since switch power up

The time the VLAN was created or last modified,

relative to when the switch was last booted.

 

 

 

Current Egress Ports

The ports in the VLAN which are egress ports.

 

 

Current Untagged Ports

The ports in the VLAN which are untagged.

 

 

Number of IEEE 802.1Q VLANs

The number of VLANs that have been defined for the

switch.

 

 

 

If more than one IEEE 802.1Q VLAN has been defined for the switch, click Next to view the status of the other VLANs.

To view router ports

Router ports can be either static or dynamic. Static ports are ports that you manually configure to route UDP multicast packets. Dynamic ports are added by the switch when the switch detects UDP multicast packets and IGMP multicast group membership reports on a port.

1.In the left panel, click Network Monitoring.

2.In the top panel under Status, click Router Ports.

3.In the VLAN field, enter the name of the VLAN to search for router ports.

4.Click Find.

The Router Port table contains the VLAN name, and under the port groupings (1 to 8, 9 to 16, 17 to 24, and 25 to 26), a port is assigned an “S” if the port is a static router port, a “D” if the port has been dynamically assigned to be a router port, or a “-” if the port is not a router port.
