Meaning
A VLAN configuration establishes a logical group within the network.
Each computer in the VLAN, regardless of initial or eventual physical
location, has access to the same data based on the VLAN
architecture. For the network operator, this provides flexibility in
network segmentation, simpler management and enhanced security.
Disabled: When disabled, all IP management traffic is allowed to the
device.
Management VLAN
ID
Configure this parameter to include the device’s management traffic
on a separate VLAN network. For example, if Management VLAN ID
is set to 2, GUI access will only be allowed from frames tagged with
VLAN ID 2. This parameter only takes effect if the MGMT VLAN
parameter is enabled.
Management VLAN
Priority
PTP 550 devices can prioritize VLAN traffic based on the eight
priorities described in the IEEE 802.1p specification. Management
VLAN Priority represents the VLAN Priority or Class of Service (CoS).
Operators may use this prioritization field to give precedence to
device management traffic.
This parameter only takes effect if the Management VLAN parameter
is enabled. Configure this parameter to set the value of the Priority
code point field in the 802.1q tag for traffic on the management
VLAN originating from the Slave Module. The default value is 0.
Data VLAN
(Slave Mode only)
Enabled: A VLAN tag will be added to all untagged traffic entering
the Salve device LAN port before sending it to the Master and
remove tags in the opposite direction from traffic (tagged with Data
VLAN ID) entering on the Slave device WAN port before sending to
the Slave device LAN port.
Disabled: When disabled, no changes are made to untagged traffic
passing through the Slave device.
Data VLAN ID
(Slave Mode only)
Configure this parameter to include this VLAN tag to all untagged
traffic entering on the Slave device LAN port before sending it to the
Master device and remove tags in the opposite direction from traffic
(tagged with Data VLAN ID) entering on the Slave device WAN port
before sending to the Slave device LAN port.
Data VLAN Priority
(Slave Mode only)
PTP 550 devices can prioritize VLAN traffic based on the eight
priorities described in the IEEE 802.1p specification. Data VLAN
Priority represents the VLAN Priority or Class of Service (CoS).
Operators may use this prioritization field to give precedence to
device user data.
This parameter only takes effect if the Data VLAN parameter is
enabled. Configure this parameter to set the value of the Priority
code point field in the 802.1q tag for traffic on the Data VLAN
originating from the Slave device. The default value is 0.
