4.2.6.4.1VLAN Support
The VLAN Support menu enables defining the parameters related to the IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLAN aware (Virtual LAN aware) feature of the units. Each VLAN includes stations that can communicate with each other, but cannot communicate with stations belonging to different VLANs. The VLAN feature also provides the ability to set traffic priorities for transmission of certain frames. The information related to the VLAN is included in the VLAN Tag Header, which is inserted in each frame between the MAC header and the data. VLAN implementation in BreezeACCESS VL units supports frame routing by port information, whereby each port is connected to only one VLAN.
The system also supports the 802.1 QinQ standard, which defines the way to have 2 VLAN tags
