You can change the default bridge configuration to suit your network by removing or
adding the desired bridge components. All components are created, managed, and
removed using the CLI or Web EMS.

Configuring VLANs
This section lists the default VLAN and Port settings, and provides instructions how to
modify these settings.
By default, the EtherHaul system is set to Transparent Bridge (Undefined VLAN) mode.
The Transparent Bridge feature enables transparent forwarding of both tagged and
untagged traffic by default. No configuration or license is necessary for this feature,
which gives you the flexibility to change your VLANs with no additional configuration
necessary in the EtherHaul system.
In addition to the default Transparent Bridge feature, you can choose to create VLANs,
as well as block specific VLANs.
6.3.1
Transparent Bridge Mode
EtherHaul’s default setting is Transparent Bridge (Undefined VLAN). In this
configuration, both tagged and untagged traffic is forwarded transparently. No VLAN
configuration is required for Undefined VLAN. This feature gives you the flexibility to
change your VLANs with no configuration necessary on the part of the EtherHaul
system.

6-3 Undefined VLAN Implementation
In Transparent VLAN mode, you can use the Eth1 or the Eth2 port for all data and
management traffic, included both tagged and untagged data (
Figure
6-4
). Alternatively,
you can use one of the ports for management, and the other port for data, including
both tagged and untagged data (
Figure
6-5
).
