Configure Switch VLAN Interfaces
Go to
Network > Switch
to setup VLAN interfaces on internal switch of WaveData.
Switch has following assignations with external ethernet ports:
WAN Ethernet/SFP interface is Port5.
LAN Ethernet port is Port4.
CPU Port is connected internally to CPU. SoC receives switch traffic through
this port.
Default configuration creates two VLAN: VLAN1 and VLAN2.
VLAN2
: Untagged for WAN port and tagged for port CPU. Switch receives
untagged traffic from WAN port and sends to the SoC with VLAN2.
VLAN1
: Untagged for LAN Port and tagged for port CPU. Switch receives
untagged traffic from the LAN port and sends to the SoC with VLAN1.
The behaviour of the switch is in strict mode, only the VLANs defined in software
are recognized by the switch, by default VLAN1and VLAN2.
Other VLANs are not supported by the switch as no are created on the list.
To synchronize with switch, Ethernet driver on SoC is properly configured;
Behaviour of the Ethernet driver is as follows:
Creates two devices: eth0 and eth1.
Driver knows, through a header inserted by the switch, which port a packet
comes from.
All switch traffic is received/transmitted through CPU Port.
Propagate received traffic (through CPU port) from WAN port to eth0
interface and vice-versa.
Propagate received traffic (through CPU port) from LAN port to eth1
interface and vice-versa.
Encryption
: Open, WEP, WPA/WPA2-PSK or WPA-EAP (802.1X)
Cipher
: WPA-TKIP, WPA-AES or Auto for both.
Key
: for WEP or WPA. WEP keys must be 6 or 13 ASCII length.
VAP Advanced Settings
802.1h
: Enable IEEE 802.1h amendment added to the IEEE 802.11 standard
for Spectrum and Transmit Power Management Extensions. It solves
problems like interference with satellites and radar using the same 5 GHz
frequency band. It was originally designed to address European regulations
but is now applicable in many other countries. The standard provides
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and Transmit Power Control (TPC)
to the 802.11a PHY. It has been integrated into the full IEEE 802.11-2007
standard.
Enable VLAN over Wi-Fi
: Enable support for transmit VLAN tag over Wi-Fi.
STA connected to AP must have support for VLAN too in order preserve tag
to VLAN interface on STA host.
Separate Clients
: Avoid client to client communication on AP.
UAPSD
: based on the IEEE 802.11e standard new power save delivery
and notification mechanisms have been introduced. APSD (automatic
power save delivery) provides two ways to start delivery: ‘scheduled APSD’
(S-APSD) and ‘unscheduled APSD’ (U-APSD). With APSD, multiple frames
may be transmitted together by the access point to a power-saving device
during a service period.
WMM Mode
: Enable WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) based on the IEEE 802.11e
standard. It provides basic Quality of service (QoS) features to IEEE 802.11
networks. WMM prioritizes traffic according to four Access Categories (AC):
voice (AC_VO), video (AC_VI), best effort (AC_BE), and background (AC_BK).
However, it does not provide guaranteed throughput. It is suitable for well-
defined applications that require QoS, such as Voice over IP (VoIP) on Wi-Fi
phones (VoWLAN).
