2.Select Configure VLANs Supporting GMRP, and press Enter.

3.Select and configure these fields:

Field	Description

VID	Specifies which VLAN ID to configure (1-4094).

Support GMRP	Specifies the state (off or on) of GMRP for this VLAN

4.Highlight APPLY and press Enter.

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

VLAN Configuration

The switch allows the assignment of an IP interface to each VLAN. A VLAN must be configured before setting up its IP interface. You can create either a port-based or an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN. By default, all ports belong to an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN called “default.” Although this VLAN cannot be deleted, all member ports can be assigned to other VLANs.

To configure GVRP globally

The global GVRP flag determines whether GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is enabled on the switch so that the switch can share VLAN information with other switches, and VLANs can span multiple switches. When this flag is disabled, VLANs are confined to the physical connections of the switch. By default, this flag is disabled.

1.From the Main Menu, select VLAN Configurations and press Enter.

2.Use the spacebar to toggle the Switch GVRP field to Enabled or Disabled.

3.Highlight APPLY and press Enter.

To create or modify a port-based VLAN

1.From the Main Menu, select VLAN Configurations Configure VLAN Settings and press Enter.
