DRA-2 UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATION NODE

USER GUIDE - Rev.5 (January 2018)

LAN CONFIGURATION
DRA-2 can operate built-in switch in two different modes that cannot be used
simultaneously. These modes are:
Switch function as single or multiple independent devices, and interfaces assigned to
one of those devices individually.
Switch device running PVLAN (RFC 5517). In this case, user must select which VLAN
will act as Primary, and which one will act as Isolated (Secondary). Interfaces keep
being assigned individually to different VLANs.
Default behaviour is to operate switch as usual, an enable object is provided to activate
PVLAN function.
The
LAN
menu contains three submenus:
Ports
,
VLAN and PLC.
Their functionalities are
described below.
5.3.1
Ports
This submenu permits the configuration of the operating parameters of the Ethernet ports in
the equipment and that of the two ports associated with the BPLC interfaces if these are
present, and the assigning of each port to one of the VLANs defined in the equipment
(consult section 5.3.2 first).
The number of ports shown in the submenu depends on the real number of ports in the
equipment. Regardless of this, the last two ports are always the ones associated with the
SFP Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, as will be seen later in the description of parameter #.
With respect to level 2 operation 2, the BPLC ports are visible to the equipment, for all
purposes, through the respective associated ports (ports 7 and 8 in parameter #).
