CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

Displaying Bridge Extension Capabilities

The Bridge MIB includes extensions for managed devices that support Multicast Filtering, Traffic Classes, and Virtual LANs. You can access these extensions to display default settings for the key variables, or to configure the global setting for GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP).

Command Attributes

•Extended Multicast Filtering Services – This switch does not support the filtering of individual multicast addresses based on GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol).

•Traffic Classes – This switch provides mapping of user priorities to multiple traffic classes. (Refer to “Class of Service Configuration” on page 3-120.)

•Static Entry Individual Port – This switch allows static filtering for unicast and multicast addresses. (Refer to “Setting Static Addresses” on page 3-84.)

•VLAN Learning – This switch uses Independent VLAN Learning (IVL), where each port maintains its own filtering database.

•Configurable PVID Tagging – This switch allows you to override the default Port VLAN ID (PVID used in frame tags) and egress status (VLAN-Tagged or Untagged) on each port. (Refer to “VLAN Configuration” on page 3-102.)

•Local VLAN Capable – This switch does not support multiple local bridges (i.e., multiple Spanning Trees).

•GMRP – GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP) allows network devices to register endstations with multicast groups. This switch does not support GMRP; it uses the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) to provide automatic multicast filtering.

•GVRP – GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) defines a way for switches to exchange VLAN information in order to register necessary VLAN members on ports across the network. This function should be enabled to permit VLANs groups which extend beyond the local switch. (Default: Disabled)
