Configuring the Bridge Ports

The RIC-155 internal bridge includes four ports: Ethernet management, Ethernet data, POS (STM-1/OC-3c link) and host. The bridge ports can be used for isolating management traffic from data traffic, serving as an important security tool. Appendix B details the RIC-155 traffic separation mechanism.

To access the Bridge Port menu:

•Follow the path: Configuration > Bridge Configuration > Bridge Ports. The Bridge Ports menu is displayed.

Configuring Ethernet Management and Data Bridge Ports

The Ethernet management and data bridge ports support VLAN tagging and VLAN prioritization. In addition, these ports can be configured to strip VLAN tags at egress or leave the frames unmodified.

To configure the Ethernet management and data bridge ports:

1.From the Bridge Ports menu, select DATA Port or MNG Port. The DATA Port or MNG Port menu appears.

2.From the DATA Port or MNG Port menu, configure the following: PVID (ID of the VLAN assigned to the current port): 1–4094. PVID Priority (priority of the assigned VLAN): 0–7
