Chapter 5 – Configuration Examples
Example 1 – In-Band management separated by VLAN
In-Band management configuration with management traffic separation by means of VLAN is a
preferred scheme when just one ETH connection (management & data traffic) into microwave link is
accomplished. Communication with remote side is ensured by sharing common capacity for data and
management traffics through internal ETH switch.The management data together with the user data
are brought via the common Gigabit cable from the external Ethernet switch to IDU. The management
traffic must be marked by unique tagged VLAN and the same VLAN is then used in whole management
network for management traffic separation.
The application example is shown on the Figure 75.The configuration of the most important GUI pages
at LOCATION 1 (provider side) is shown on the figures 76 - 79.
This concrete example describes application where SINGLE design is selected on both link sides,
modulation is QAM128 in BW 30 MHz and appropriate maximal data speed is about 169 Mbps. IP
addresses of both IDUs are from the same IP subnet, because this scheme is similar to switched
Ethernet network. The slow separated management channels is also used in this configuration but
only for periodical message exchanges between both IDUs. The remote management connection is
available from port LAN 1 or alternatively from ports LAN 2, SFP 2 (WAN B) and WAN A (over air
connection) in form of tagged frames with VLAN #100. The alternative local management connection
is available through the LAN 3 port on each IDUs. This port accepts only untagged frames, the port is
member of managed VLAN #100 (access mode). The whole data traffic is transparent between both
IDUs excluding VLAN #100 which is reserved for management purposes. The CPU management port
ETH 0 is accessible only from such management VLAN. The VLAN setting corresponds with appropriate
explanation in chapter ETH VLAN settings on page 81.
In-Band management configuration with VLAN is supported by all designs (SINGLE, MULTI,
AGGREGATE, PROTECTED).
Main Advantages
–
Fast management access to local and remote IDU.
–
Just one Ethernet cable is required for data and management traffic connection.
Disadvantages
–
Management traffic shares capacity with data traffic.
–
It is required to know what is a type of customer traffic, especially VLAN configuration at
provider and customer side.
