LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Ingress

This feature is not supported on all models.

 

If this check box is selected for a port, the device discards incoming frames for VLANs

 

that do not include this port in its member set.

 

 

PVID

Each port on the switch is capable of passing tagged or untagged frames. To forward a

 

frame from an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN-unaware switch to an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN-aware

 

switch, the switch first decides where to forward the frame, and then inserts a VLAN tag

 

reflecting the default ingress port's VLAN ID, the PVID. The default PVID is VLAN 1 for

 

all ports, but this can be changed to any number between 1 and 4094.

 

 

GVRP

Select the check box to permit VLAN groups beyond the local switch on this port. 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.

 

 

Acceptable

Specify the type of frames allowed on a port. Choices are All and Tag Only. Select All

Frame Type

to accept all frames with untagged or tagged frames on this port. This is the default

 

setting. Select Tag Only to accept only tagged frames on this port. All untagged frames

 

are dropped.

 

 

VLAN

Enable VLAN trunking on ports connected to other switches or routers (but not ports

Trunking

directly connected to end users) to allow frames belonging to unknown VLAN groups to

 

pass through the switch.

 

 

Apply

Click Apply to save the changes.

 

 

16.4 Port Link Aggregation

Use the Port Link Aggregation screen to configure a port trunk group and set LACP timeout.

To open the configuration screen, right-click on the switch in the Device List Panel, and click Configuration > Ethernet Port > Port Link Aggregation. Then select a device and the port(s) to which you want to apply this configuration.
