SMC Networks SMC7724M/VSW manual Creating Vlans

CREATING VLANS

•GVRP Status – Enables/disables GVRP for the interface. GVRP must be globally enabled for the switch before this setting can take effect. (See “Displaying Bridge Extension Capabilities” on page 2-22)When disabled, any GVRP packets received on this port will be discarded and no GVRP registrations will be propagated from other ports. (Default: Enabled.)

•GARP Join Timer – The interval between transmitting requests/ queries to participate in a VLAN group. (Default: 20 centiseconds) (Range: 20-1000 centiseconds; Default: 20 centiseconds)

-Timer settings must follow this rule: 2 x (join timer) < leave timer < leaveAll timer.

•GARP Leave Timer – The interval a port waits before leaving a VLAN group. This time should be set to more than twice the join time. This ensures that after a Leave or LeaveAll message has been issued, the applicants can rejoin before the port actually leaves the group. (Range: 60-3000 centiseconds; Default: 60 centiseconds)

-Timer settings must follow this rule: 2 x (join timer) < leave timer <leaveAll timer.

•GARP LeaveAll Timer – The interval between sending out a LeaveAll query message for VLAN group participants and the port leaving the group. This interval should be considerably larger than the Leave Time to minimize the amount of traffic generated by nodes rejoining the group. (Range: 500-18000 centiseconds; Default: 1000 centiseconds.)

-Timer settings must follow this rule: 2 x (join timer) < leave timer <leaveAll timer.

•Trunk Member – Indicates if a port is a member of a trunk. To add a trunk to the selected VLAN, use the last table on the VLAN Static Table page.
