DESCRIPTION

VLAN Type

Choose 802.1Q or Port Based. The VLAN Setup screen changes depending on

whether you choose 802.1Q VLAN type or Port Based VLAN type in this screen.

See

Chapter 8 on page 81

for more information.

Bridge Control

Protocol

Transparency

Select Active 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 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 3000 seconds. This is how long all dynamically learned MAC

addresses remain in the MAC address table before they age out (and must be

relearned).

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 Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message.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.
