CAUTION: GVRP settings will be restored to defaults if the Switch is
restarted and you have not selected Save Config from the
main menu and saved your running configuration to non-
volatile memory.
NOTE: LeaveAll Timer >= 10* Leave Timer, Leave Timer >= 2*Join Timer
Configuration Procedure:
Step Operation Description
1 Set the link type for Port. On the VLAN>>802.1Q VLAN>>Port Config page set the
link type of the Port to be TRUNK.
2 Enable GVRP function. On the VLAN>>GVRP page enable GVRP function.
3 Configure the registration
mode and the timers for
the Port. On the VLAN>>GVRP page configure the parameters of
the Ports based on the recommended intervals.
7 SPANNING TREE
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol), IEEE standard 802.1D, is used to control Network loops
in the Data Link layer of a local Network. Devices running STP discover loops in the
Network and block Ports by exchanging information. A Network loop can be blocked to
form a standard topology loop-free Network preventing packets from being duplicated
and forwarded endlessly inside the Network.
BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Unit) is the protocol Data that STP and RSTP use to pass
topology information. Enough information is carried in a BPDU to ensure Spanning Tree
operation. STP is used to determine the topology of the Network by transferring BPDUs
between devices.
To implement Spanning Tree the Switches in the Network transfer BPDUs between each
other to exchange information and all the Switches supporting STP receive and process
the BPDUs. BPDUs carry the information needed for Switches to configure Spanning
Tree appropriately.
STP Elements
Bridge ID (Bridge Identifier): Is a value used to identify the Switch to other STP devices
in the Network the priority and MAC address of the Switch are used to calculate the
Bridge ID. The Bridge ID can be configured, the Switch with lowest bridge ID has the
highest priority.
