Ethernet Ports (VLAN)
Each Ethernet port can be independently configured to operate in one of two modes: Access or Trunk.
Access: a port in access mode will process un-tagged packets from the Ethernet interface, append the corresponding Port
VLAN ID (PVID) and send the packets over the radio channel. When a packet is received on the radio channel, the packet’s
VLAN tag will be examined, and if it matches the user configured PVID for any Ethernet port on the radio, the tag will be
removed and sent out the corresponding port.
A port configured in access mode, requires a Port VLAN ID (PVID).
Access ports configured with a PVID which match the management services VLAN will provide access to internal radio
management services.
Trunk: a port in trunk mode will transmit tagged VLAN packets from the Ethernet interface over the radio channel. If an un-
tagged packed is received on the port, it will be discarded.
Filtering can be applied to a trunk port, to allow only select VLAN IDs to pass through the port.
Ingress Filtering, when enabled, applies filtering on VLAN packets processed on any Ethernet port configured as a trunk port.
The filter will discard all VLAN tagged packets which are not found within the membership table (for the corresponding port)
while, allowing VLAN tagged packets within the membership table to be sent over the radio channel. When Disabled, the
Ethernet interface will pass all tagged VLAN packets over the radio channel.
Membership
VLAN Membership:
For trunked ports with ingress filtering enabled, VLAN IDs not defined in the table are discarded.
• State: [Enable] or [Disable] the VLAN
• VID: VLAN ID (1-4094).
• ETH1: Include ETH1 in this VLAN. Can not be enabled if ETH1 is an access port.
• ETH2: Include ETH2 in this VLAN. Can not be enabled if ETH2 is an access port.
• Description: Description of the VLAN (128 Characters Max).
