In the example configuration above, the RLX2-IHx is configured with three VLANs
forming a trunk link on the RLX2-IHx
’s Ethernet interface. The management VLAN has
VLAN ID of
1
, the operational VLAN has VLAN ID of
50
and a user wireless access
network has a VLAN ID of
100
.
This configuration assumes the RLX2-IHx is connected to a managed switch that is
VLAN capable. Settings changes can only be done from VLAN 1 (the management
VLAN). Users connecting to the RLX2-IHx wirelessly can neither make settings changes
nor can they access the operational network.
For customer networks that assign a different subnet on each VLAN, the RLX2-IHx
supports the configuration of a 2
nd
Alternate IP Address via the
Basic Settings >
Access Setting
section of the RLX2-IHx webpage. This allows the internal applications
to be accessed with either IP Address as long as the packet is tagged with the VLAN ID
assigned to that application.

Parameter
Description
VLAN Enable
Select this check box to enable the VLAN function of the radio.
When enabled, packets received by the radio on an interface that
are not VLAN tagged are assigned to the VLAN as set by the PVID
parameter of the respective interface.
When disabled, the radio still bridges received Ethernet packets
that are VLAN tagged but does not act on the VLAN ID of the
frame or add or remove any VLAN tags.
Ethernet (ingress) PVID
SSID (ingress) PVID
Specifies the PVID setting; representing the VLAN ID to assign to non-
tagged ingress frames from each interface (Ethernet, SSID).
Internal Application
VLAN ID
Specifies the VLAN ID to assign to applications on the RLX2-IHx.
The
Mgmt Interface
setting assigns a VLAN ID to the Web and
FTP servers, allowing configuration and firmware update access.
The
ENIP/Modbus
setting assigns a VLAN ID to the ENIP and
Modbus agents, allowing access to those modules from PLCs only
from the assigned VLAN.
The
Telnet
setting assigns a VLAN ID to the Telnet Server,
allowing logging access by a Telnet Client (Ex. IH Browser) only
from the assigned VLAN.
The
SNMP
setting assigns a VLAN ID to the SNMP Agent,
allowing access by SNMP Managers from the assigned VLAN.
VLAN Settings
Specifies the details for each VLAN.
Use the VLAN Table to add a VLAN ID to the RLX2-IHx, and specify
whether the Ethernet interface is a member of that VLAN and whether
egress frames should be tagged or untagged for a particular VLAN.
You can configure up to 15 different VLAN ID's.
VLAN
ID
-
The ID of the VLAN to be included on this RLX2-IHx. Valid
VLAN ID's range from 1 to 4096. Note that VLAN ID's 1956 and 1957
are reserved and cannot be used.
E
THERNET
M
EMBER

Specifies whether to make the Ethernet interface
of the radio a member of the VLAN indicated by the row’s VLAN ID.
E

E
GRESS
A
CTION
-
Specifies whether frames belonging to the
row’s VLAN ID are sent out the Ethernet port as
T
AGGED
or
U
NTAGGED
.
