VLANs

Port(s)

Synopsis: Any combination of numbers valid for this parameter

The port number as seen on the front plate silkscreen of the switch (or a list of ports, if aggregated in a port trunk).

Type

Synopsis: {Edge, Trunk}

Default: Edge

This parameter specifies how the port determines its membership in VLANs. There are few types of ports:

EDGE - the port is only a member of one VLAN (its native VLAN specified by the 'PVID' parameter).

TRUNK - the port is automatically a member of all configured VLANs. Frames transmitted out of the port on all VLANs except the port's native VLAN will be always tagged. It can also be configured to use GVRP for automatic VLAN configuration.

QinQ - the port is a trunk port using double-VLAN tagging, or nested VLANs. An extra VLAN tag is always added to all frames egressing this port, VID in the added extra tag is the PVID of the frame's ingress port. VLAN tag is always stripped from frames ingressing this port.

PVID

Synopsis: 1 to 4094

Default: 1

The Port VLAN Identifier specifies the VLAN ID associated with untagged (and 802.1p priority tagged) frames received on this port.

Frames tagged with a non-zero VLAN ID will always be associated with the VLAN ID retrieved from the frame tag.

Modify this parameter with care! By default, the switch is programmed to use VLAN 1 for management and every port on the switch is programmed to use VLAN 1. If you modify a switch port to use a VLAN other than the management VLAN, devices on that port will not be able to manage the switch.

PVID Format

Synopsis: { Untagged, Tagged }

Default: Untagged

Specifies whether frames transmitted out of the port on its native VLAN (specified by the 'PVID' parameter) will be tagged or untagged.

GVRP

Synopsis: { Adv&Learn, Adv Only, Disabled }

Default: Disabled

Configures GVRP (Generic VLAN Registration Protocol) operation on the port. There are several GVRP operation modes:

DISABLED - the port is not capable of any GVRP processing.

ADVERTISE ONLY - the port will declare all VLANs existing in the switch (configured or learned) but will not learn any VLANs.

ADVERTISE & LEARN - the port will declare all VLANs existing in the switch (configured or learned) and can dynamically learn VLANs.

Only Trunk ports are GVRP capable.
