VLAN Configuration Page
VLAN is disabled as the default setting for Exalt radios. The Exalt radios still pass VLAN and non-
VLAN traffic across the link, but do not examine the VLAN traffic or act upon it. Enable VLAN using
the Exalt GUI for expanded VLAN support.
Figure 29 VLAN Configuration page
When VLAN is first enabled, the Ethernet interface port is assigned as Default VLAN, until the port is
configured with specific VLAN IDs. For example, a specific VLAN for management access to the
radio must be manually configured.
Two VLAN modes are provided:
The 802.1q mode allows you to create a list of up to 64 VLAN IDs that are allowed to pass across
the link. Any other VLANs and untagged packets are blocked in this mode. In this mode, the
VLANs that are desired to be passed must be listed in the bottom table. These values can be
entered in ranges or as individual numbers separated by commas (for example, 1, 5, 10–22, 50,
70–102.)
The ‘Management Only Enabled’ mode is for customers that wish to manage the radio with a
VLAN, but have the radio be transparent to all traffic (pass both VLAN and untagged traffic).
VLAN configurations are maintained even when VLAN is disabled. That is, the VLANs can be
configured and the configuration saved, even though they are not active until VLAN is enabled.Use
the following methods to restore the management connection if a mistake was made assigning the
management VLAN and access cannot be restored: Reset the radio to the critical factory defaults (see
Note: Once a management VLAN is configured or modified and the Update button clicked,
the management connection will likely be lost. The management connection to the radio must
follow the configuration to the assigned VLAN. After configuring and enabling the
management VLAN on the radio, reconfigure your network’s management access to match
the settings on the radio.
