DESCRIPTION

VLAN Type

Choose 802.1Q or Port Based. The VLAN Setup screen changes depending on

 

whether you choose 802.1Q VLAN type or Port Based VLAN type in this screen.

 

See Chapter 8 on page 83 for more information.

 

 

Bridge Control

Select Active to allow the Switch to handle bridging control protocols (STP for

Protocol

example). You also need to define how to treat a BPDU in the Port Setup screen.

MAC Address

MAC address learning reduces outgoing traffic broadcasts. For MAC address

Learning

learning to occur on a port, the port must be active.

 

 

Aging Time

Enter a time from 10 to 3000 seconds. This is how long all dynamically learned MAC

 

addresses remain in the MAC address table before they age out (and must be

 

relearned).

 

 

GARP Timer: Switches join VLANs by making a declaration. A declaration is made by issuing a Join message using GARP. Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message. A Leave All message terminates all registrations. GARP timers set declaration timeout values. See the chapter on VLAN setup for more background information.

Join Timer

Join Timer sets the duration of the Join Period timer for GVRP in milliseconds. Each

 

port has a Join Period timer. The allowed Join Time range is between 100 and

 

65535 milliseconds; the default is 200 milliseconds. See the chapter on VLAN setup

 

for more background information.

 

 

Leave Timer

Leave Time sets the duration of the Leave Period timer for GVRP in milliseconds.

 

Each port has a single Leave Period timer. Leave Time must be two times larger

 

than Join Timer; the default is 600 milliseconds.

Leave All Timer

Leave All Timer sets the duration of the Leave All Period timer for GVRP in

 

milliseconds. Each port has a single Leave All Period timer. Leave All Timer must be

 

larger than Leave Timer.
