Enabling Or Disabling Gvrp (Global Setting) - AMX NXA-ENET24 Instruction Manual

Forwarding Tagged/Untagged Frames
If you want to create a small port-based VLAN for devices attached directly to a single switch, you
can assign ports to the same untagged VLAN. However, to participate in a VLAN group that
crosses several switches, you should create a VLAN for that group and enable tagging on all ports.
Ports can be assigned to multiple tagged or untagged VLANs. Each port on the switch is therefore
capable of passing tagged or untagged frames. When forwarding a frame from this switch along a
path that contains any VLAN-aware devices, the switch should include VLAN tags. When
forwarding a frame from this switch along a path that does not contain any VLAN-aware devices
(including the destination host), the switch must first strip off the VLAN tag before forwarding the
frame. When the switch receives a tagged frame, it will pass this frame onto the VLAN(s) indicated
by the frame tag. However, when this switch receives an untagged frame from a VLAN-unaware
device, it first decides where to forward the frame, and then inserts a VLAN tag reflecting the
ingress port's default VID.

Enabling or Disabling GVRP (Global Setting)

GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (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)
Web – Click VLAN, 802.1Q VLAN, GVRP Status. Enable or disable GVRP, and click Apply.
