CrossFire 8650/8651 UEM Guide to Operation, DOC-7090 v. 1.0

3. Console Configuration

Configuration Overview

Execute the following general steps to configure a CrossFire 8650 or 8651 UEM:

•

Determine which VLANs the HSTR ports should connect.

•

Determine which VLAN, if any, should be untagged.

•

Configure the 802.1Q VLAN ID for all BRFs that should be tagged.

•

Make sure that each 802.1Q VLAN ID matches that of the HSTR equipment 
on the other end.

•

Assign CRFs to the HSTR port, thereby creating one virtual port in each 
VLAN. You can create new CRFs to make sure that the CRFs do not have 
conflicting ring numbers, as discussed in "Ring Number Restriction"

 

on

 

page 13.

•

Configure the HSTR port, in particular the operation mode.

•

Configure the virtual ports, in particular the tagging mode. The relevant 
configuration menus are described in the port configuration sections.
