B.2 Port-Based/VLAN-Based Traffic Separation

The main purpose of traffic separation is to prevent management frames from entering data ports of the local and remote units. The traffic separation mechanism can be further improved by using internal VLAN-based routing. Management and data Ethernet ports receive unique VIDs (VLAN Identifiers), which define frame routes inside the bridge.

Default port VIDs are set as follows:

•Management port – 1

•Data port – 2.
