Figure 5-67. Voice VLAN OUI Table.
Parameter description:
• Delete: Check to delete the entry. It will be deleted during the next save.
• Telephony OUI: A telephony OUI address is a globally unique identifier assigned to a vendor by IEEE. It must be 6 characters
long and the input format is "xx-xx-xx" (x is a hexadecimal digit).
• Description: The description of OUI address. Normally, it describes which vendor telephony device it belongs to. The allowed
string length is 0 to 32.
• Add New entry: Click to add a new entry in Voice VLAN OUI table. An empty row is added to the table, the Telephony OUI,
Description.
• Buttons:
Apply: Click to apply changes.
Reset: Click to undo any changes made locally and revert to previously saved values.
NOTE: All non-telephony MAC addresses in the Voice VLAN will be blocked for 10 seconds.
For example: When Pkts enter the port and you add a new OUI entry, this can enable the OUI to match current Pkts, and the
packet will be forwarded.
5.13 GARP
The Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) provides a generic framework in which devices in a bridged LAN, e.g. end
stations and switches, can register and de-register attribute values, such as VLAN Identifiers, with each other. The attributes are
propagated to devices in the bridged LAN, and these devices form a “reachability” tree that is a subset of an active topology.
GARP defines the architecture, rules of operation, state machines, and variables for the registration and de-registration of
attribute values.
A GARP participation in a switch or an end station consists of a GARP application component, and a GARP Information
Declaration (GID) component is associated with each port or the switch. The propagation of information between GARP
participants for the same application in a bridge is carried out by the GARP Information Propagation (GIP) component. Protocol
exchanges take place between GARP participants via LLC Type 1 services, using the group MAC address and PDU format defined
for the GARP application.
5.13.1 Configuration
This page allows you to configure the basic GARP Configuration settings for all switch ports.
The settings relate to the currently selected unit, as reflected by the page header.
