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 t echnique t o i nsert a “ tag” i nto t he E thernet frames. Tag c ontains a V LAN Identifier
(VID) that indicates the VLAN numbers.
You can create Tag-based VLAN, and enable or disable GVRP protocol. There are 256
VLAN g roups to pr ovide c onfiguration. E nable 802.1Q V LAN, al l por ts o n t he sw itch
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 ar ea ne tworks (VLANs) w ithin a l arger n etwork. GVRP c onforms t o the I EEE
802.1Q specification, which defines a method of tagging frames with VLAN configuration
data. This al lows n etwork dev ices t o d ynamically ex change V LAN c onfiguration
information with other devices.
GVRP i s bas ed on GARP ( Generic A ttribute R egistration P rotocol), a pr otocol t hat
defines procedures by which end s tations 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, l ike G ARP, eliminates un necessary net work t raffic by pr eventing at tempts to
transmit i nformation t o unr egistered us ers. I n addi tion, i t i s ne cessary t o m anually
configure only one switch and all the other switches will be configured accordingly.
