WGS3 Layer 3 Switch User’s Manual

member of the associated VLAN, these frames are stripped of all VLAN tags prior to transmission.)

3: If you want to create a small port-based VLAN for just one or two switches, you can assign ports to the

same untagged VLAN (and use a separate connection where a VLAN crosses the switches). However,

to participate in a VLAN group that extends beyond this switch, we recommend using the VLAN ID for

that group (using VLAN tagging for Layer 2 mode, or a common PVID for multilayer mode).

When operating the switch in Layer 2 mode, ports assigned to a large VLAN group that crosses several

switches must use VLAN tagging. But when operating in multilayer mode, this switch does not currently

support tagging, so you should set the PVID to the same value at both ends of the link (if the device you

are attaching to is VLAN-aware), and configure an IP interface for this VLAN if you need to connect it to

other group.

This parameter is for WGS3-2620 only. WGS3-404’s default setting is Rx All and use VLAN Table

Configuration for Tx.

Parameter Default Description

GVRP

Enabled

Enables or disables GVRP for this port. When disabled, any GVRP

packets received on this port will be discarded and no GVRP registrations

will be propagated from other ports.

Note that GVRP must be enabled globally for the switch before this

setting can take effect. (See “4.5.3.1 Configuring Global Bridge Settings”)

GMRP

*4

Enabled

Enables or disables GMRP for this port. When enabled, this port will allow

end stations to register with multicast groups using GMRP. Note that

GMRP must be enabled for the switch before this setting can take effect.

IGMP and IGMP Snooping also provide multicast filtering. (See “6.4.2

IGMP Protocol”)

Ingress

Filtering

*5

Disabled

If enabled, incoming frames for VLANs which do not include this ingress

port in their member set will be discarded at the ingress port.

4: Only displayed on WGS3-2620.

5: This control does not affect VLAN independent BPDU frames, such as GVRP or STP. However, they

do affect VLAN dependent BPDU frames, such as GMRP.
