Using the Web Console

To configure member ports of an 802.1Q VLAN

1.In the left panel, click VLAN Configurations.

2.In the top panel, click IEEE 802.1Q Port Settings.

3.For each port, enable or disable the following:

Field

Description

 

 

 

Specifies whether the port can dynamically become a member of a VLAN.

GVRP

This protocol allows the port to share VLAN information with other ports so

 

that a VLAN can span multiple switches.

 

 

 

Specifies whether a port checks the VID of incoming packets against its VID

Ingress Checking

or PVID. If the two are equal, the port will receive the packet. It the two are

unequal, the port will drop the packet. This is used to limit traffic to a single

 

 

VLAN.

 

 

4. Click Apply.

GMRP

GMRP (Group Multicast Registration Protocol) allows ports to dynamically join multicast groups. It provides a mechanism that allows bridges and end-stations to dynamically register (and subsequently, de-register) group membership information with the MAC bridge attached to the same LAN segment. By default, this flag is disabled.

To configure GMRP globally:

1.In the left panel, click VLAN Configurations.

2.In the top panel, click Switch GMRP.

3.Use the drop-down menu to select Enabled or Disabled.

4.Click Apply.

To configure port GMRP settings

1.In the left panel, click VLAN Configurations.

2.In the top panel, click Port GMRP Settings.

3.Select and configure these fields:

Field

Description

 

 

Port

Specifies which port to configure (1-26).

 

 

GMRP State

Specifies the state (off or on) of GMRP for this port.

 

 

4.Click Apply.

5.To change an entry, repeat steps 3-4.

To configure VLANs supporting GMRP

1.In the left panel, click VLAN Configurations.

2.In the top panel, click Configure VLANs Supporting GMRP.
