Parameter descriptions:
VLAN USER: VLAN User module uses services of the VLAN management functionality to configure
VLAN memberships and VLAN port configurations such as PVID and UVID. These VLAN user types are
currently supported: Combined, Admin, NAS, GVRP, MVR, Voice, VLAN, MSTP, DMS, and VCL.
Combined: A combination of VLAN User types.
NAS: NAS provides port-based authentication, which involves communications between a
Supplicant, Authenticator, and an Authentication Server.
GVRP: GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol or Generic VLAN Registration Protocol)
facilitates control of VLANs within a larger network. GVRP conforms to the IEEE 802.1Q
specification, which defines a method of tagging frames with VLAN configuration data.
MVR: Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) is used to eliminate the need to duplicate
multicast traffic for subscribers in each VLAN. Multicast traffic for all channels is sent only
on a single (multicast) VLAN.
Voice VLAN: Voice VLAN is a VLAN configured specially for voice traffic typically originating from IP
phones.
MSTP: The 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree protocol (MSTP) uses VLANs to create multiple spanning
trees in a network, which significantly improves network resource utilization while maintaining a
loop-free environment.
DMS: Transition Networks' DMS (Device Management System) is an intelligent management tool
embedded in the switch to intuitively help reducing support time, cost, and effort.
VCL: VLAN Control List (VCL) provides access control for all packets that are bridged within a VLAN
or that are routed into or out of a VLAN.
VLAN ID: VLAN ID for which the Port members are displayed.
