xStack DES-3800 Series Layer 3 Stackable Fast Ethernet Managed Switch 

The following fields can be set: 

Parameter                 Description 

From/To 

These two fields allow you to specify the range of ports that will be included in the Port-based 
VLAN that you are creating using the 

802.1Q Port Settings

 window. 

GVRP 

The Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) enables the port to dynamically become a 
member of a VLAN. GVRP is

 Disabled 

by default. 

Ingress Check 

This field can be toggled using the space bar between 

Enabled

 and 

Disabled

. 

Enabled

 enables 

the port to compare the VID tag of an incoming packet with the PVID number assigned to the 
port. If the two are different, the port filters (drops) the packet. 

Disabled

 disables ingress filtering. 

Ingress Checking is 

Disabled

 by default. 

PVID 

The read-only field in the 802.1Q Port Table shows the current PVID assignment for each port, 
which may be manually assigned to a VLAN when created in the 802.1Q Port Settings table. 
The Switch's default is to assign all ports to the default VLAN with a VID of 1. The PVID is used 
by the port to tag outgoing, untagged packets, and to make filtering decisions about incoming 
packets. If the port is specified to accept only tagged frames - as tagging, and an untagged 
packet is forwarded to the port for transmission, the port will add an 802.1Q tag using the PVID 
to write the VID in the tag. When the packet arrives at its destination, the receiving device will 
use the PVID to make VLAN forwarding decisions. If the port receives a packet, and Ingress 
filtering is enabled, the port will compare the VID of the incoming packet to its PVID. If the two 
are unequal, the port will drop the packet. If the two are equal, the port will receive the packet. 

Acceptable 
Frame Type 

This field denotes the type of frame that will be accepted by the port. The user may choose 
between 

Tagged Only

, which means only VLAN tagged frames will be accepted, and 

Admit_All

, 

which mean both tagged and untagged frames will be accepted. 

Admit_All

 is enabled by default. 

Click 

Apply

 to implement changes made.
