5.3.4 ethTag - Ethernet Tagging
Use these commands to identify data traffic through this subscriber by using
802.1Q VLAN tags.
When tagging is enabled, each upstream packet (received on the subscriber
Ethernet port) is tagged with the specified VID. If the packet already has a VID
tag, a new outermost tag is added (Q in Q). The packet is then forwarded to the
wireless interface.
When tagging is enabled, each downstream packet (received on the subscriber
wireless interface) is checked for the specified VID and matching tags are
removed. If there are multiple VID tags (Q in Q), only the outermost tag is
checked/removed. The packet is then forwarded to the Ethernet port.
The following table lists all commands available in this mode.
