Services and Service Groups
Overview
The RDL-3000 operates as a VLAN-aware wireless L2 switch, classifying and forwarding
traffic based on the packet VID. Ethernet ingress packets containing a VLAN (802.1Q)
field are first compared to the tagged-type Services or Service Groups defined for that
Ethernet port.
When a VID is matched to a classifier, the packet is processed according to the settings
for that Service or Service Group. Packets with a unicast address are forwarded based
on destination address. Packets with a multicast/broadcast address, and unicast
addresses with unknown destinations, are forwarded to all Service Group members.
A Service or Service Group set to 'Pass through' mode forwards (unmodified) packets
that are not matched to the classifier for any tagged Service or Service Group (e.g.,
unclassified VID or packet without 802.1Q tag). Non VLAN packets are discarded if no
pass through classifier is defined.
