VLAN Utility

 

 

 

Enable VLAN

Select Yes to enable the VLAN function on the WiMAX Device.

 

Note: To use VLAN on the WiMAX Device, you must switch the operation mode to

 

“bridge” on the Network Setting > WAN screen. It will then require system

 

restart to take effect.

 

 

Port Settings

 

#This is the index number of the port setting.

Interface

This displays the interface that the port setting applies to.

 

 

Link Type

Select Access if this port forwards traffic for only one VLAN. The device

 

connected to an access port does not support VLAN tagged packets, so the

 

WiMAX Device will remove packets forwarded out of this port. Packets received

 

on access ports will be tagged with the specified PVID.

 

Select Trunk to allow packets belonging to different VLAN groups to pass

 

through the port. The device connected to this port should support VLAN tagged

 

packets. You must configure Filter Settings for the port and VLAN ID for tagged

 

packets to be forwarded. If received packets are already tagged, the PVID set for

 

this port should not be the same as the VLAN IDs configured in Filter Settings.

 

This will allow the tagged packets to be forwarded to the specified VLANs. If

 

received packets are not tagged, the WiMAX Device will tag them with the PVID.

 

Select Hybrid to allow the port to function as an access port and trunk port.

 

 

PVID

A PVID (Port VLAN ID) is a tag that adds to incoming untagged packets received

 

on a port so that the packets are forwarded to the VLAN group that the tag

 

defines. Enter a number between 1and 4094 as the port VLAN ID.
