DES-3526 / DES-3526DC Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switch
PVID The read-only field in the 802.1Q Port Table shows the current 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.
Ingress This field can be toggled using the space bar between Enabled and Disabled.
Enabled enables the port to compare the VID tag of an incoming packet with the
PVID number assigned to the port. If the two are different, the port filters (drops) the
packet. Disabled disables ingress filtering. Ingress Checking is Disabled by default.

Traffic Control
This field denotes the type of frame that will be accepted by the port. The user may
choose between Tagged Only, which means only VLAN tagged frames will be
accepted, and Admit_All, which mean both tagged and untagged frames will be
accepted. Admit_All is enabled by default.
Use the Traffic Control Setting window to enable or disable storm control and adjust the threshold
for multicast and broadcast storms, as well as DLF (Destination Look Up Failure). Traffic control settings
are applied to individual Switch modules. To view the following window, click Configuration >
