The Cisco FM3500 Endo features smart self-management of integration
with connected VLANs, with minimal configuration time and avoidance of
potential configuration errors. This is done by A) relying on the data-
processing configuration of a connected network switch, and B) obeying
predefined rules for management of incoming and outgoing data packets.
To connect the unit to a VLAN that is part of the local wireless network, do
the following steps:
1. Click the -vlan settings link under ADVANCED SETTINGS in the
left-hand settings menu.
• The
VLAN SETTINGS dialog will be shown ( Figure 48
(page 115) ).

2. Connect the unit to a VLAN that is part of the local wireless
network by checking the Enable VLANs check-box.
3. Check the Enable VLANs check-box.
4. Enter the management identification number of the VLAN (used
to communicate with the device's operating system) in the
Management VLAN ID: field.
IMPORTANT
For detailed information on the predefined rules for smart VLAN
packet management, refer to the
“Rules for packet
management” (page 116)
table at the bottom of this section.
NOTE
The same Management VLAN ID must be used on all
Fluidmesh devices that are part of the same mesh
network.
