NS3503-16P-4C User Manual
102
This provides a tunneling mechanism to connect remote costumer VLANs through a common MAN
space without interfering with the VLAN tags. All tags use EtherType
0x8100
or
0x88A8
, where 0x8100
is used for customer tags and 0x88A8 are used for service provider tags.
In cases where a given service VLAN only has two member ports on the switch, the learning can be
disabled for the particular VLAN and can therefore rely on flooding as the forwarding mechanism
between the two ports. This way, the MAC table requirements is reduced.

The Edit Interface Setting/Status screens in Figure 4-5-5 and Figure 4-5-6 appear.

The page includes the following fields:
Object
Description
Port Select
Select port number for this drop down list to set VLAN port setting.
Interface VLAN Mode
Set the port in access, trunk, hybrid and tunnel mode.
- Trunk means the port allows traffic of multiple VLANs.
- Access indicates the port belongs to one VLAN only.
- Hybrid means the port allows the traffic of multi-VLANs to pass in tag or untag
mode.
- Tunnel configures IEEE 802.1Q tunneling for a downlink port to another
device within the customer network.
PVID
Allows you to assign PVID to selected port.
The PVID will be inserted into all untagged frames entering the ingress port.
The PVID must be the same as the VLAN ID that the port belongs to VLAN
group, or the untagged traffic will be dropped.
The range for the PVID is 1-4094.
Accepted Type
Determines whether the port accepts all frames or only tagged frames. This
parameter affects VLAN ingress processing. If the port only accepts tagged
frames, untagged frames received on the port are discarded.
Options:
- All
- Tag Only
- Untag Only
By default, the field is set to All.
Ingress Filtering
If ingress filtering is enabled (checkbox is checked), frames classified to a
VLAN that the port is not a member of get discarded.
If ingress filtering is disabled, frames classified to a VLAN that the port is not a
member of are accepted and forwarded to the switch engine.
However, the port will never transmit frames classified to VLANs that it is not a
member of.
