GVRP Settings
The table allows the user to determine whether the Switch will share its VLAN configuration information with other
GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) enabled switches. In addition, Ingress Checking can be used to limit traffic
by filtering incoming packets whose PVID do not match the PVID of the port. Results can be seen in the table under
the configuration settings, as seen below.

The following fields can be set:
Parameter Description
From Port/To Port
These two fields allow you to specify the range of ports that will be included in the Port-based
VLAN that you are creating using the 802.1Q Port Settings window.
GVRP
The Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) enables the port to dynamically become a
member of a VLAN. GVRP is Disabled by default.
PVID
The read-only field in the 802.1Q Port Table shows the current PVID assignment for each port,
which may be manually assigned to a VLAN when created in the 802.1Q Port Settings table.
The Switch's default is to assign all ports to the default VLAN with a VID of 1. The PVID is used
by the port to tag outgoing, untagged packets, and to make filtering decisions about incoming
packets. If the port is specified to accept only tagged frames - as tagging, and an untagged
packet is forwarded to the port for transmission, the port will add an 802.1Q tag using the PVID
to write the VID in the tag. When the packet arrives at its destination, the receiving device will
use the PVID to make VLAN forwarding decisions. If the port receives a packet, and Ingress
filtering is enabled, the port will compare the VID of the incoming packet to its PVID. If the two
are unequal, the port will drop the packet. If the two are equal, the port will receive the packet.
Ingress Check
This field can be toggled using the space bar between Enabled and Disabled. Enabled enables
the port to compare the VID tag of an incoming packet with the PVID number assigned to the
port. If the two are different, the port filters (drops) the packet. Disabled disables ingress fil-
tering. Ingress Checking is Disabled by default.
Acceptable Frame
This field denotes the type of frame that will be accepted by the port. The user may choose
