Configuration Overview for the Fast Ethernet Ports
To configure the Fast Ethernet ports, follow general steps listed below:
•
Determine which VLANs the Fast Ethernet ports should connect.
•
Determine which VLAN, if any, should be untagged.
•
Configure the Fast Ethernet VLAN ID for all the BRFs that should be tagged.
•
Make sure that each Fast Ethernet VLAN ID matches that of the Fast Ethernet
equipment in the other end.
•
Assign CRFs to the Fast Ethernet port, thereby creating one virtual port in each
VLAN. Possibly create new CRFs to make sure that the CRFs do not have
conflicting ring numbers, as discussed in section “Ring Number Restriction”
above.
•
Configure the virtual ports, in particular the tagging mode. The relevant
configuration menus are described in detail in the following sections.
Configure the translational bridging parameters for each Virtual Port.
