Port Mode – Sets the mode of the port with respect to VLAN tagging. If the
port is set to access, untagged frames will be sent and received on the port,
and all traffic will be part of a single VLAN. If the port is set to trunk, tagged
frames will be sent and received.
VLAN
z If the port is set to access mode, a single port-based VLAN will be config-
ured here.
z If the port is set to trunk mode, a native VLAN and a list of allowed VLANs
can be configured. The native VLAN specifies the VLAN to which untagged
ingress traffic will be mapped. In addition to the native VLAN, the port may
be configured to allow all other VLANs in the switch, or to allow only a spe-
cific list of VLANs.
Firewall Policy – Applies a firewall policy to the physical port. Firewall policies
are created under
Configuration > Security > Policies.
Enable MUX – Specifies that this port connects to a third-party AP for which
the switch will perform the Wi-Fi MUX function. See the section on configuring
Wi-Fi MUX for more details.
Spanning Tree – TBC
CLI configuration of interfaces is done using the interface command. An
example interface configuration is:
interface fastethernet 2/12
description "To-Bldg4"
trusted
poe cisco
switchport access vlan 4
VLAN Configuration
VLANs configuration on an Alcatel switch is similar to that of a standard L2/L3
switch. VLANs can exist locally only, or can be extended to other devices in the
network through VLAN tagging. VLANs can exist purely for L2 segmentation,
or can have IP addresses assigned. When IP addresses are assigned, the
switch will automatically act as a router and perform L3 forwarding between
VLANs.
