Web UI configuration
VLANs can be configured from the CLI, web UI or SNMP. The CLI advantage is support for scripting the entire
configuration. The CLI disadvantage is the large number of commands required to execute the complete
configuration.
The web UI is slower since it relies on Javascript running on your local PC, and the overhead associated with
transmitting the configuration data. The graphical display is easy to follow and should be used to get familiar with the
system.

VLAN Config
Enable VLAN support. Requires system reboot.
VLAN Mode
Local Mode refers to the mT2 Switch. Port-
based or Tag-based is supported. Remote Mode
refers to the WallPlate. Tag-based or disabled is
supported.
VLAN Special Interfaces
If video is delivered on a defined “video VLAN”,
be sure to assign IGMP to the VLAN used for
video. When IGMP Proxy is enabled, mT2 will
proxy IGMP packets with the VLAN ID of the
group in this configuration.
Management packets can be tagged with a
specific VLAN ID for layer 2 security. Enable
management VLANs and assign a VLAN ID.
The VLAN must first be created using the 802.1Q
Tag Based menu.
VLAN Multicast
Enable multicast support and assign the VLAN
where multicast packets will be sent. This VLAN
should be the same as the IGMP VLAN ID for
proper delivery of video.
