7.7 IP Setup

Use the IP Setup screen to configure the default gateway device, the default domain name
server and add IP interface(s).

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 Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message.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. See the chapter on VLAN setup for more background

information.

Leave Timer

Leave Time 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.

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.

Priority Queue Assignment
IEEE 802.1p defines up to eight separate traffic types by inserting a tag into a MAC-layer frame that

contains bits to define class of service. Frames without an explicit priority tag are given the default

priority of the ingress port. Use the next two fields to configure the priority level-to-physical queue

mapping.
The switch has four physical queues that you can map to the 8 priority levels. On the switch, traffic

assigned to higher index queues gets through faster while traffic in lower index queues is dropped if the

network is congested.

Priority Level (The following descriptions are based on the traffic types defined in the IEEE 802.1d

standard (which incorporates the 802.1p).

Level 7

Typically used for network control traffic such as router configuration messages.

Level 6

Typically used for voice traffic that is especially sensitive to jitter (jitter is the

variations in delay).

Level 5

Typically used for video that consumes high bandwidth and is sensitive to jitter.

Level 4

Typically used for controlled load, latency-sensitive traffic such as SNA (Systems

Network Architecture) transactions.

Level 3

Typically used for “excellent effort” or better than best effort and would include

important business traffic that can tolerate some delay.

Level 2

This is for “spare bandwidth”.

Level 1

This is typically used for non-critical “background” traffic such as bulk transfers that

are allowed but that should not affect other applications and users.

Level 0

Typically used for best-effort traffic.
