Configuring the Host Encapsulation
The RICi-E3, RICi-T3 management software allows you to separate traffic. You can
choose to allow packets to be received by the network port, the user port, by
both or none of them. To separate traffic, you have to tag the VLAN packets and
specify the VLAN ID, the priority and ports to be open to the relevant packets.
 To configure the host encapsulation:
1. Navigate to Main Menu > Configuration > System > Management > Host IP.
The Host IP menu appears as illustrated in
Figure 4-2.
2. Select Host Tagging to enable or disable VLAN tagging performed by the host
as follows:
 Untagged. The IP host operates like a regular bridge with the network and
user interfaces acting as bridge ports. Any packet, including VLAN-tagged,
can be forwarded to the user Ethernet port.
 Tagged. When the IP host packets are sent with a VLAN tag, they are
forwarded to and received via the device ports, creating a dedicated
management VLAN. All packets with the management VLAN tag received
at the user Ethernet port are discarded.
If you select Tagged, three additional parameters appear as illustrated in
Figure 4-4 :
 VLAN ID. Specify a value between 1 and 4094.
 VLAN Priority. Specify the priority level for the host VLAN (0–7).
 Physical Ports Access. Specify which port(s) can receive the IP host
packets. The following options are possible:
 All
 Network Port Only
 User Port Only
 None
3. Select Save.
