Motorola WS5100 manual Management Features, 1.2.3.4VLAN Enhancements, 1.2.3.5Interface Management

Overview 1-17

•When packets are received on the GRE tunnel interface by the switch, the switch decapsulates the GRE header and forwards the IP packet to the MU based on the destination IP address. The MAC address of the MU is obtained from the MU table.

1.2.3.4VLAN Enhancements

The switch has incorporated the following VLAN enhancements:

•Physical port (L2) is now operated in Trunk Mode or Access Mode.

•A VLAN now allows an AP to receive and send only untagged packets. All tagged packets received by the AP are discarded. The untagged traffic received is internally placed in an “access vlan”.

•A trunk port can now receive, both tagged and untagged packets. Only one native VLAN per trunk port is supported. All untagged traffic received on is placed into a “native vlan”.

•You can now configure a set of allowed VLANS on a trunk port. Packets received on this port that belong to other VLANs are discarded.

1.2.3.5Interface Management

The switch permits a physical interface to Auto Negotiate, Full Duplex or Half Duplex. The switch also allows:

•Manual bandwidth configuration of a physical interface to 10/100/1000Mbps. This is only permitted if duplex is not set to Auto-Negotiate.

•Manual configuration of administrative shutdown of a physical interface.

A WS5100 switch supports 32 WLANS.
