These parameters are displayed:

Configure General

GVRP Status – GVRP defines a way for switches to exchange VLAN

information in order to register VLAN members on ports across the

network. VLANs are dynamically configured based on join messages

issued by host devices and propagated throughout the network. GVRP

must be enabled to permit automatic VLAN registration, and to support

VLANs which extend beyond the local switch. (Default: Disabled)

Configure Interface

Interface – Displays a list of ports or trunks.

Port – Port Identifier. (Range: 1-26)

Trunk – Trunk Identifier. (Range: 1-32)

GVRP Status – Enables/disables GVRP for the interface. GVRP must be

globally enabled for the switch before this setting can take effect (using

the Configure General page). When disabled, any GVRP packets

received on this port will be discarded and no GVRP registrations will be

propagated from other ports. (Default: Disabled)
GVRP cannot be enabled for ports set to Access mode (see

"Adding

Static Members to VLANs" on page 202

).

GVRP Timers – Timer settings must follow this rule:

3 x (join timer) < leave timer < leaveAll timer
