Figure 7.15: VLAN conﬁguration steps.

7.11.1 VLAN Tagging Conﬁguration (Software Plug-in Required)

Each VLAN can be conﬁgured via FMQuadro with a simple two steps pro-

cedure as described below. Please note that VLANs require some network

conﬁguration expertise and should be used by advanced users only. Please

refer to Section 5.2.1 for further details.

1. VLAN ID creation: a new VID can be created using the VLAN man-

ager control placed at the bottom-right hand of the FMQuadro window

as shown in Fig. 7.15. You must specify the VID number and, op-

tionally, a description of the VLAN. Once the VID is created you can

specify the Ethernet ports and/or the MAC addresses membership.

2. Ports and/or MAC membership: FM unit ethernet ports can be

added to the created VLAN by using the speciﬁc callout of the unit

as shown in Fig. 7.15. On the other hand, MAC addresses member-

ship can be speciﬁed in the VLAN manager control.
