Allowing a VLAN Access to the NSS
Configuring a VLAN to connect to the NSS depends if it is trunk-based or port-
based. To configure a trunk-based VLAN, follow the steps in this section. To
configure a port-based VLAN, configure the switch to assign the port to which the
NSS is connected to the desired VLAN. In this case, no NSS configuration changes
are required.
To set up a network VLAN to access the NSS:
STEP 1
From the
Manager Menu
, click
Network
VLAN
.
The
VLAN Configuration
page appears.
STEP 2
Under
New VLAN
, configure the following fields:
•
Link
: This shows as "1" for the Ethernet link.
•
VLAN
: Enter the ID of the VLAN as it is defined within your network. The
range of valid VLAN IDs is from 1 to 4095.
•
Priority
: Select the QoS priority for the VLAN traffic as it is defined for your
network. Valid options range from 0 to 7 (as defined by the IEEE 802.1p
standard). VLAN Ethernet frames contain a three-bit priority tag ranging
from 0 to 7 (where 0 is best effort and 7 is network-critical traffic).
