GARP Timer: Switches join VLANs by making a declaration. A declaration is made by issuing a Join message
using GARP. Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message. A Leave All message terminates all
registrations. GARP timers set declaration timeout values. See the chapter on VLAN setup for more
background information.

DESCRIPTION
Choose 802.1Q or Port Based. The VLAN Setup screen changes depending on whether
you choose 802.1Q VLAN type or Port Based VLAN type in this screen. See
page 88 for more information.
Select Active to enable smart isolation on the Switch. The designated port(s) then
becomes the isolated port. Smart isolation allows you to prevent isolated ports on
different switches from transmitting traffic to each other.
Note: To use smart isolation, you should have configured 802.1Q VLAN port isolation or
private VLAN and (M)RSTP on the Switch. Smart isolation does not work with MSTP
and/or port-based VLAN.
MAC address learning reduces outgoing traffic broadcasts. For MAC address learning to
occur on a port, the port must be active.
Enter a time from 10 to 3000 seconds. This is how long all dynamically learned MAC
addresses remain in the MAC address table before they age out (and must be relearned).
Join Timer sets the duration of the Join Period timer for GVRP in milliseconds. Each port
has a Join Period timer. The allowed Join Time range is between 100 and 65535
milliseconds; the default is 200 milliseconds. See the chapter on VLAN setup for more
background information.
