The Port Allocation options described in Ethernet ports on page 1-15 allow for several
combinations of in-band and out-of-band local management as shown in Figure 3, Figure 4 and
Figure 5.
Figure 3 shows a single port allocated to Data and In-Band Management. The in-band
management might be connected to a network management center or to a management terminal
of an installer or technician.

Figure 4 shows one port allocated to Data Only and one allocated to Out-of-Band Local
Management. The local management network (shown in red) is isolated from the customer data
network (shown in green). Management frames are not forwarded over the wireless link. The
connection to the management agent is solely through the management port of the local ODU.
