NOTE:
The Ethernet port in an iNET-II and iNET is 10BaseT. Some
Ethernet switches allow a VLAN trunk port only on a
100BaseT interface and may not be able to communicate with
the radio.
Configuring for Operation with VLAN
When VLAN Status is enabled the radio uses an 802.1Q frame structure.

VLAN Status
—Defines whether the radio handles Ethernet
frames in “extended” 802.1Q mode or in “normal” mode in the
Ethernet port. Ethernet frames intended for the radio, but with a
VLAN ID not configured in the radio are discarded.

NOTE: This parameter must be consistent at both Access Point and
Remote radios in order for data to flow correctly. Inconsistent
configuration may result in data not being transported
correctly and the loss of over-the-air communications.
NOTE: A change made to the above parameter will result in the
Commit Changes option appearing on screen. This will modify
the appearance of the screen depending on the option selected.
•
Ethernet Port Mode
—Defines if the Ethernet port acts as a trunk
port or as an access port. Auto mode defines the port as an
access port in an AP, or a trunk port in a Remote radio. [

•
Management VLAN ID
—Defines the VLAN ID for traffic directed
to the radio itself, other than the terminal server process. This
VLAN ID is used for filtering and for tagging purposes.
