Table 13 Basic Setting > Switch Setup
LABEL DESCRIPTION
VLAN Type
(Standalone
mode only)
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
Chapter 7 on
page 101
for more information. The Switch does not have port-based VLAN available in
stacking m ode (Active is enabled in Basic Setting > Stacking > Configuration), so
this field does not display in stacking mode.
Bridge Control
Protocol
Transparency
Select Active to allow the Switch to handle bridging control protocols (STP, for example).
You also need to define how to treat a BPDU in the Port Setup screen.
MAC Address
Learning
MAC address learning reduces outgoing traffic broadcasts. For MAC address learning to
occur on a port, the port must be active.
Aging Time Enter a time from 10 to 1000000 seconds. This is how long all dynamically learned MAC
addresses remain in the MAC address table before they age out (and must be relearned).
ARP Aging Time
Aging Time Enter a time from 60 to 1000000 seconds. This is how long dynamically learned ARP
entries remain in the ARP table before they age out (and must be relearned). The setting
here applies to ARP entries which are newly added in the ARP table after you click Apply.
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 Declarations are withdrawn by issuing a Leave message.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
Chapter 7 on page 101 for more background
information.
Join Timer 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
Chapter 7 on page 101 for more
background information.
Leave Timer Leave Time sets the duration of the Leave Period timer for GVRP in milliseconds. Each
port has a single Leave Period timer. Leave Time must be two times larger than Join
Tim er; the default is 600 milliseconds.
Leave All Timer Leave All Timer sets the duration of the Leave All Period timer for GVRP in milliseconds.
Each port has a single Leave All Period timer. Leave All Timer must be larger than Leave
Timer.
