Chapter 9 VLAN

GARP Timers

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 Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message.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.

GVRP

GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is a registration protocol that defines a way for switches to register necessary VLAN members on ports across the network. Enable this function to permit VLAN groups beyond the local Switch.

Please refer to the following table for common IEEE 802.1Q VLAN terminology.

VLAN Type

Permanent VLAN

This is a static VLAN created manually.

 

 

 

 

Dynamic VLAN

This is a VLAN configured by a GVRP registration/

 

 

deregistration process.

Registration Fixed

Fixed registration ports are permanent VLAN

members.

Control

 

 

Registration

Ports with registration forbidden are forbidden to

join the specified VLAN.

 

 

 

 

Normal

Ports dynamically join a VLAN using GVRP.

 

Registration

 

 

 

 

VLAN Tag Control

Tagged

Ports belonging to the specified VLAN tag all

 

 

outgoing frames transmitted.

 

 

 

 

Untagged

Ports belonging to the specified VLAN don't tag all

 

 

outgoing frames transmitted.

 

 

 

VLAN Port

Port VID

This is the VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames

 

 

that this port received.

 

 

 

 

Acceptable Frame

You may choose to accept both tagged and

 

Type

untagged incoming frames, just tagged incoming

 

 

frames or just untagged incoming frames on a

 

 

port.

 

 

 

 

Ingress filtering

If set, the Switch discards incoming frames for

 

 

VLANs that do not have this port as a member

 

 

 

9.1.2.2 Port VLAN Trunking

Enable VLAN Trunking on a port to allow frames belonging to unknown VLAN groups to pass through that port. This is useful if you want to set up VLAN groups on end devices without having to configure the same VLAN groups on intermediary devices.
