802.1Q VLAN
Tagged-based VLAN is an IEEE 802.1Q specification standard. Therefore, it is possible
to create a VLAN across devices from different switch venders. IEEE 802.1Q VLAN uses
a technique to insert a “tag” into the Ethernet frames. Tag contains a VLAN Identifier
(VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers.
You can create Tag-based VLAN, and enable or disable GVRP protocol. There are 256
VLAN groups to provide configuration. Enable 802.1Q VLAN, all ports on the switch
belong to default VLAN of VID 1. The default VLAN can’t be deleted.
GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is a protocol that facilitates control of virtual
local area networks (VLANs) within a larger network. GVRP conforms to the IEEE
802.1Q specification, which defines a method of tagging frames with VLAN configuration
data. This allows network devices to dynamically exchange VLAN configuration
information with other devices.
GVRP is based on GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol), a protocol that
defines procedures by which end stations and switches in a local area network (LAN)
can register and de-register attributes, such as identifiers or addresses, with each other.
Every end station and switch thus has a current record of all the other end stations and
switches that can be reached.
GVRP, like GARP, eliminates unnecessary network traffic by preventing attempts to
transmit information to unregistered users. In addition, it is necessary to manually
configure only one switch and all the other switches will be configured accordingly.
802.1Q Configuration
