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 34 VLAN Configuration page
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
Reset to Critical Factory Settings
). Connect to the Console port using a serial interface and the CLI, as
described in Telnet into the Command Line Interface (CLI)
, and reconfigure the VLAN settings.
Four VLAN configurations are provided:
• 802.1q Block Untagged: To pass desired VLANs across the radio, they must be listed in the lower
tables per their respective interfaces. All other traffic, including untagged traffic, is not passed
across the link. The radio must be managed on a VLAN whose ID is set in the upper table. This
management VLAN ID is available to any interface IDs listed in this lower table.
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.
