Configuring VLAN Behavior for Interfaces

You can configure VLAN behavior for specific interfaces, including the default VLAN
identifier (PVID), accepted frame types, ingress filtering, GVRP status, and GARP
timers.

Command Usage
GVRP – GARP VLAN Registration Protocol defines a way for switches to

exchange VLAN information in order to automatically register VLAN members on
interfaces across the network.

GARP – Group Address Registration Protocol is used by GVRP to register or

deregister client attributes for client services within a bridged LAN. The default
values for the GARP timers are independent of the media access method or data
rate. These values should not be changed unless you are experiencing difficulties
with GVRP registration/deregistration.

Command Attributes
PVID – VLAN ID assigned to untagged frames received on the interface. (Default: 1)

- If an interface is not a member of VLAN 1 and you assign its PVID to this VLAN,

the interface will automatically be added to VLAN 1 as an untagged member. For
all other VLANs, the PVID must be defined first, then the status of the VLAN can
be configured as a tagged or untagged member.

Acceptable Frame Type – Sets the interface to accept all frame types, including

tagged or untagged frames, or only tagged frames. When set to receive all frame
types, any received frames that are untagged are assigned to the default VLAN.
(Options: All, Tagged; Default: All)

Ingress Filtering – Determines how to process frames tagged for VLANs for which

the ingress port is not a member. Ingress Filtering is always enabled.
(Default: Enabled)
- Ingress filtering only affects tagged frames.
- If a port receives frames tagged for VLANs for which it is not a member, these

frames will be discarded.

- Ingress filtering does not affect VLAN independent BPDU frames, such as GVRP

or STP. However, they do affect VLAN dependent BPDU frames, such as GMRP.

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

enabled for the switch before this setting can take effect. (See “Displaying Bridge
Extension Capabilities” on page 3-15.
) When disabled, any GVRP packets
received on this port will be discarded and no GVRP registrations will be
propagated from other ports. (Default: Disabled)

GARP Join Timer

11

– The interval between transmitting requests/queries to

participate in a VLAN group. (Range: 20-1000 centiseconds; Default: 20)

GARP Leave Timer

9

– The interval a port waits before leaving a VLAN group. This

time should be set to more than twice the join time. This ensures that after a Leave

11. Timer settings must follow this rule: 2 x (join timer) < leave timer < leaveAll timer
