Will you define VLAN IDs?
When you want to use VLAN traffic with specific tags on any/all of the DATA ports,
you will need to disable Transparency and define VLAN IDs (refer to
VLAN
Configuration
section). When you want to use both VLAN tagged, untagged, or
double-tagged traffic, enable Transparency. When you want to use only untagged
traffic, set the unit to Default mode.
VIII - Application Examples
The following are application examples of the different VLAN configuration modes
available using the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II. If you require assistance configuring an
application, email IMC Networks Technical Support at
techsupport@imcnetworks.com.
The application modes include the following:
•
Default
•
Transparent with Untagged Management
•
Transparent with Tagged Management
•
Transparent with Extra Tagging (Q-in-Q)
•
Port VLAN
•
Port VLAN Filter
NOTE
When configuring VLAN IDs, remember that you can use any VLAN ID between 1
and 4,094. The VLAN IDs used in the following applications are for example
purposes only.
Default
Default mode passes only untagged data between the DATA port and the OPTICS (or
UPLINK) port. This mode is the factory default and is provided as a starting point
from which to configure the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II modules. It is not intended as a
mode for normal use.
NOTE
Default Mode does not provide any management traffic protection and is not
recommended for normal use.
