12.2.1 General
In general the management plane can be configured to be managed “in band” , that is transported with
data and differentiated on the base of VLan, or out of band, where a port is exclusively dedicated to the
management. In particular, for management purposed, the LAN interfaces can be configured as follow:
• Disable - the management is not transported for that LAN
• Local Access Only - LAN is dedicated to the management and it allows to reach the local CPU only
• In Band - LAN is configured to transport both management and data: management is differentiated
by dedicated VLan
• Out Of Band (OOB) - LAN is dedicated to the management and the management forwarded over
the radio is maintained segregated from the data (in this application the segregation is virtually
achieved via LAN)
• Drop Node - LAN is dedicated to the management and it is possible to access to both local CPU and
the rest of the network.
The combinations of management configuration for LAN1 and LAN2 are shown in the following.
Disable - Local Access Only (LAO)
LAN1: Disable LAN1 is for data only
LAN2: LAO LAN2 is local management only
