Configuring Networking Features for VLAN
The Mercury supports IEEE 802.1Q, or VLAN tagging. VLANs, or
Virtual LANs, are used to create multiple logical networks that share an
existing physical network. There are a number of parameters available
for configuring how the transceivers behave when VLAN is enabled and
they are explained below.
When VLAN is enabled, a Mercury transceiver has two IP addresses:
one for the Management VLAN and one for the Serial VLAN.
Subscribers and ODU units with 802.11 Wi-Fi may also have a Wi-Fi
VLAN with a unique IP address.
