The user data traffic may be configured to support VLAN tags. Note that for management signalling, the VLAN
ID is set on GUI page: “Administration / Management / IP”. When using VLAN’s the VLAN ID may be set to any
value from 1 up to 4095.
There are 4 possible scenarios when using VLAN’s:
Case 1: VLAN’s not used
Case 2: VLAN for Management only
Case 3a: VLAN for Management + VLAN’s for User Traffic
Case 3b: VLAN for Management + VLAN’s for User Traffic with Tag / Untag on Default VLAN
NOTE: The “Allowed VLAN’s” table must always list the same set of VLAN ID’s on both ends of the link.
5.4.2.1 Case 1: VLAN’s not used
In this case, VLAN’s are not used, and the VLAN table is empty (or the “Enable VLAN Filtering” box is
unticked) on both sides of the link.
Figure 40 - VLAN’s not enabled (Allowed VLAN tables empty, or not enabled)
5.4.2.2 Case 2: VLAN for Management Only
In this case, VLAN is used for Management only (VLAN ID 99). All User Traffic is accepted, (both Tagged and
Untagged), while the VLAN ID 99 is only used for Management traffic). The “Enable VLAN Filtering” box is
unticked in the second figure below. Although the VLAN filtering is inactive, the Management VLAN ID 99 is
still shown in the “Allowed VLAN’s” table for clarity.
