14 Enabling VLAN Tagging
The EnRoute500 supports VLAN tagging, with each client interface capable of supporting a
different VLAN tag. If VLAN tagging is enabled for an interface, client devices that connect to
the interface must be capable of receiving VLAN-tagged frames.
14.1 Client Interface Configuration
VLAN tagging can be independently controlled on each client interface (eth0, wlan1-4). The
Enable VLAN parameters for the „eth0‟, „wlan1‟, „wlan2‟, „wlan3‟, and „wlan4‟ interfaces controls
the state of VLAN tagging.
VLAN tagging must be enabled on the backhaul Ethernet interface on a mesh
cluster‟s gateway for VLAN tags to be included in data frames sent to the WAN. See
section 14.2 for more details.
The VLAN ID value for each client interface is set with the VLAN ID parameter for each
interface. The VLAN ID must be in the range from 0 to 4095. Note that 0 and 4095 are
reserved values and 1 is the default VLAN ID. There are no restrictions on VLAN IDs for
different interfaces or nodes having to match or be different.
CLI
The example below shows how to enable VLAN tagging on the „wlan1‟ interface and set the
VLAN ID to 12 using the parameters „vlan.enable‟ and „vlan.id‟ in the „wlan1‟ interface.
> use wlan1
wlan1> set vlan.enable=yes
> use wlan1
wlan1> set vlan.id=12
Web GUI
The VLAN Enable and VLAN ID parameters can be set via the web interface under the
“wlanN” tabs on the “Wireless Interfaces” page and on the “Wired/Backhaul Interface” page
(see Figure 47).
