Bridge Settings
Figure 3-19. Bridge Settings
Parameter Description
Traffic Class* Multiple traffic classes are supported by this switch as indicated
under Bridge Capabilities. However, you can disable this
function by clearing this checkbox.
VLAN Learning As default this switch uses Shared VLAN Learning (SVL),
whereby all ports share one VLAN filtering database. However,
you can set the switch to use Independent VLAN Learning
(IVL), where each port maintains its own filtering database.
Note that when you change from one method to the other, the
switch will automatically reset and the current VLAN
configuration will be lost.
GMRP* GARP Multicast Registration Protocol (GMRP) allows network
devices to register endstations with multicast groups. Note that
this function is not implemented in the current firmware release.
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is currently
used by this switch to provide automatic multicast filtering.
GVRP* GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) defines a way for
switches to exchange VLAN information in order to register
necessary VLAN members on ports across the network. This
function should be enabled to permit VLANs groups which
extend beyond the local switch.
* Not implemented in the current firmware release.
