VLAN
Refer to Figure 3 in Chapter 2, the cascaded Ethernet link acts as a traffic trunk to aggregate all HomePNA
port traffic. The straightforward VLAN configuration should let each HomePNA port (1 to 14) can
communicate with the trunk for LAN/WAN connectivity, but can't communicate with each other directly. Only
the ports within the same VLAN group can access each other directly.
See the
default
Port-Based VLAN setting in the following figure as an example:
The above window indicates that each HomePNA port (1 to 14) is grouped with PortE1, i.e. within the same
VLAN. PortE1 and PortE2 are grouped in one VLAN. In this configuration, PortE1 acts as up-link port;
PortE2 gathers the traffic from other cascaded switch up-link port. The following figure shows the data flow of
default Port-Based VLAN groups in one switch.
