D-Link DES-6500 Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch

GVRP Settings

In the Configuration menu, open the VLANs folder and click GVRP Setting.
The Port VLAN ID (PVID) dialog box, shown below, allows you 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 does 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
Unit
From/To
State
Ingress Check
Figure 4- 21. GVRP Setting
Description
Displays the Unit ID of the switch − within the switch stack − that the VLAN
will be created on.
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 page.
The Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) enables the port to
dynamically become a member of a VLAN. GVRP is disabled by default.
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 filtering.
