• GVRP Status – Enables/disables GVRP for the interface. GVRP
must be globally enabled for the switch before this setting can take
effect. (See “Displaying Bridge Extension Capabilities” on page 2-20.)
When disabled, any GVRP packets received on this port will be
discarded and no GVRP registrations will be propagated from other
ports. (Default: Enabled)
• GARP Join Timer – The interval between transmitting requests/
queries to participate in a VLAN group. (Default: 20 centiseconds)
• GARP Leave Timer – The interval a port waits before leaving a
VLAN group. This time should be set to more than twice the join time.
This ensures that after a Leave or LeaveAll message has been issued,
the applicants can rejoin before the port actually leaves the group.
(Default: 60 centiseconds)
• GARP LeaveAll Timer – The interval between sending out a
LeaveAll query message for VLAN group participants and the port
leaving the group. This interval should be considerably larger than the
Leave Time to minimize the amount of traffic generated by nodes
rejoining the group. (Default: 1000 centiseconds)
• Trunk Member – Indicates if a port is a member of a trunk. To add
a trunk to the selected VLAN, use the last table on the VLAN Static
Table page.
• Mode – Indicates VLAN membership mode for a port. (Configure via
CLI, see page 3-97.)
- 1Q Trunk – Specifies a port as an end-point for a VLAN trunk. A
trunk is a direct link between two switches, so the port transmits and
receives tagged frames that identify the source VLAN.
- Hybrid – Specifies a hybrid VLAN interface. The port may receive
or transmit tagged or untagged frames. Any frames that are not
tagged will be assigned to the default VLAN.
Note: Mode and the Acceptable Fame Type are comparable parameters.
