DESCRIPTION
VLAN Type
Choose
802.1Q
or
Port Based
. The
SWITCHING
>
VLAN
link and its sub-links only appears when
you choose
802.1Q
VLAN type in this screen.
Bridge Control
Protocol
Transparency
Enable the
ON
/
OFF
switch to allow the Switch to handle bridging control protocols (STP, for
example). You also need to define how to treat a BPDU in the
PORT
>
Port Setup
screen.
MAC Address Learning
MAC address learning reduces outgoing traffic broadcasts. For MAC address learning to occur on a port, the port
must be active.
Aging Time
Enter a time from 10 to 1000000 seconds. This is how long all dynamically learned MAC
addresses remain in the MAC address table before they age out (and must be relearned).
ARP Aging Time
Aging Time
Enter a time from 60 to 1000000 seconds. This is how long dynamically learned ARP entries
remain in the ARP table before they age out (and must be relearned). The setting here applies
to ARP entries which are newly added in the ARP table after you click
Apply
.
GARP Timer: Switches join VLANs by making a declaration. A declaration is made by issuing a
Join
message using
GARP. Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a
Leave
message. A
Leave All
message terminates all registrations.
GARP timers set declaration timeout values. See the chapter on VLAN setup for more background information.
Join Timer
Join Timer
sets the duration of the
Join Period
timer for GVRP in milliseconds. Each port has a
Join
Period
timer. The allowed
Join Time
range is between 100 and 65535 milliseconds; the default is
200 milliseconds. See the chapter on VLAN setup for more background information.
Leave Timer
Leave Timer
sets the duration of the
Leave Period
timer for GVRP in milliseconds. Each port has a
single
Leave Period
timer.
Leave Time
must be two times larger than
Join Timer
; the default is 600
milliseconds.
Leave All
Timer
Leave All Timer
sets the duration of the
Leave All Period
timer for GVRP in milliseconds. Each port
has a single
Leave All Period
timer.
Leave All Timer
must be larger than
Leave Timer
.
