DES-3200-10/18/28/28F Layer 2 Ethernet Managed Switch User Manual
GVRP Settings
This window 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.
To view this window, click L2 Features > GVRP Settings:

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.
PVID (1-4094)
Enter a 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.
GVRP
The Group VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) enables the port to dynamically become a
member of a VLAN. GVRP is Disabled by default.
