4.2.6.4.1.2 VLAN Link Type
The VLAN Link Type parameter enables defining the functionality of the VLAN
aware capability of the unit.
The available options are Hybrid Link and Trunk Link.
The default selection is Hybrid Link.
4.2.6.4.1.2.1 Trunk Link
Trunk Link transfers only tagged frames, as all devices connected to the unit are
VLAN aware. Only tagged data frames received on the Ethernet or wireless link
ports are forwarded.
If the VLAN Forwarding option is enabled, a data frame received with a VLAN ID
that is not a member of the unit's VLAN Forwarding List is discarded.
If the VLAN Relaying option is enabled, a data frame relayed with a VLAN ID that
is not a member of the unit's VLAN Relaying List is discarded.
Receive from Wireless Tagged frames, matching VID-M Untagged
frames when VID-M=65535
Transmit Insert VID-M, PID-M
CAUTION
It is not recommended that you configure a unit as a Trunk Link with the VLAN ID-Management
parameter set at 65535, as it does not forward any 'NO VLAN' management frames to its other port,
making it impossible to manage devices connected behind the unit that are also configured with 'NO
VLAN'.
NOTE
If the
VLAN Forwarding
option is enabled, be sure to include the
VLAN ID-Management
value of all units that should be managed via the wireless port of the unit, in the Forwarding List.
NOTE
If the
VLAN Relaying
option is enabled and you manage your devices from behind an SU unit,
be sure to include the
VLAN ID-Management
value of all units to be managed when relaying
via the wireless port of the AU unit, in the Relaying List. If the VLAN Forwarding option is also
enabled in the AU, these VLAN IDs should also be included in the Forwarding List.
