Figure 3-8 BS in Transparent Mode
Table 3-1 BS in VLAN Transparent Mode—Summary
BS in Trunk Mode
When the BS is in Trunk mode, the SS may be in either Trunk, Access, or Mixed mode.
When both the BS and SS are in Trunk mode, packets are forwarded only if they are tagged with one of the allowed
VLAN IDs configured on the BS or provisioned to the SS. Any untagged frames, and any frames with a tag that is not
found in the VLAN ID List, are discarded.
When the BS is in Trunk mode and the SS is in Access mode, the SS processes only untagged packets from the Ethernet
interface, discarding any tagged packets it receives. Upon receiving an untagged packet, the SS tags it with an assigned
VLAN ID and priority provisioned by the BS. When the SS receives tagged packets from the wireless interface, it removes
the VLAN tag and sends only untagged packets to the Ethernet interface.
BS in Transparent VLAN Mode SS in Transparent or Access VLAN Mode
BS forwards both tagged and untagged frames
BS allows any untagged management frames to
access the device
Transparent Mode:
SS forwards both tagged and untagged frames
SS allows any untagged management frames to
access the device
Access Mode:
SS discards any tagged framed received from the
Ethernet interface
SS tags any untagged frames received from the
Ethernet interface with the configured VLAN ID and
priority and forwards them to the BS
SS untags all frames received from the BS that are
tagged with the VLAN ID and forwards them to the
Ethernet Interface or to the internal IP address.
SS discards any frames received from the BS with a
tag other than the VLAN ID
SS tags any management frames that it generates with
the configured VLAN ID and priority when sending
them on the wireless interface
SS sends all management frames as untagged when
sending them on the Ethernet interface
