MNG Only

In the MNG Only port access mode, local data frames can reach the uplink port only. Local management frames can reach the host and uplink ports, and the remote management frames can reach the local uplink, host and data ports.

In the MNG Only access mode, the host port checks the source port of the incoming frames and drops those that do not originate from the management port.

See Managing RIC-155 via MNG Port for the application example.

All

In the All port access mode, data and management frames can reach all ports, allowing management of the local and remote units via the MNG and DATA ports.

If the units are going to be managed via the DATA port, it is necessary to add VLAN tags to the frames before they enter RIC-155. This can be done by an external device, such as a switch. In this case the host must be configured to tag the incoming management frames according to the setting of the external switch.

See Managing RIC-155 via Data Port for the application example.
