The following table describes the labels in this screen. 
8.6  Port-based VLAN Setup     
Port-based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the 
destination MAC address and its associated port. 
Port-based VLANs require allowed outgoing ports to be defined for each port. Therefore, if 
you wish to allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, for example, between conference 
rooms in a hotel, you must define the egress (an egress port is an outgoing port, that is, a port 
through which a data packet leaves) for both ports.
Port-based VLANs are specific only to the switch on which they were created. 
Note: When you activate port-based VLAN, the switch uses a default VLAN ID of 1. 
You cannot change it.
In screens (such as IP Setup and Filtering) that require a VID, you must enter 
1 as the VID. 
The port-based VLAN setup screen is shown next. The CPU management port forms a VLAN 
with all Ethernet ports.

DESCRIPTION
GVRP
GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) is a registration protocol that defines a 
way for switches to register necessary VLAN members on ports across the 
network. 
Select this check box to permit VLAN groups beyond the local switch.
Port Isolation
Port Isolation isolates ports on the same VLAN (802.1q). ‘This option is the most 
limiting but also the most secure.
Ingress Check 
Select this check box to activate ingress filtering on the switch. 
Clear this check box to disable ingress filtering the switch. 
Port
This field displays the port number. 
PVID
Enter a number between 1and 4094 as the port VLAN ID.
GVRP
Select this check box to allow GVRP on this port. 
Acceptable Frame 
Type 
Specify the type of frames allowed on a port. Choices are All and Tag Only
Select All from the drop-down list box to accept all untagged or tagged frames on 
this port. This is the default setting. 
Select Tag Only to accept only tagged frames on this port. All untagged frames will 
be dropped.
VLAN Trunking
Enable VLAN Trunking on ports connected to other switches or routers (but not 
ports directly connected to end users) to allow frames belonging to unknown VLAN 
groups to pass through the switch.
