REASON SWITCHES-TM-EN-3
I do not need VLANs. Do I have to change default settings?
By default, all ports are member of the VLAN ID 1 in Reason Switches. Management
interface is configured to be member of the VLAN ID 1, all ingress frames are
classified to the VLAN ID 1 and all egress frames are forwarded without VLAN tag.
Thus, all equipment connected will be member of the same VLAN, and will receive
and transmit information as they are in the same LAN. Thus, if there is no VLAN usage
on the network, default settings would not require to be changed.
I use VLANs, but they do not appear to be working:
When using VLANs, there are several topics that must be clarified by user while
configuring the switches.. Be sure that the following topics are respected if VLAN is
not working properly.
o
Port type must be correct
. Be sure that equipment connected to
the port where VLAN is being configured is correct. If not, the
ingress filter should drop packets or change incoming VLAN ID
frames to the VLAN ID of the ingress port, thus a given VID frame
will be redirected to port VID VLAN;
o
Port Filtering is being respected.
If ingress filtering is enabled,
untagged or tagged frames could be dropped, depending on the
filter configured. Be sure that ingress filtering is correct for that
port;
o
Egress tagging parameters work as host requires
. Egress filtering
can maintain VLAN tag, cut-off VLAN tag or cut-off only frames
with the port VID tag. Thus, be sure that egress tagging is
configured as the host needs. If host supports VLANs, be sure that
egress filtering is sending VLAN tag the host is expecting to receive.
If host does not supports VLANs, be sure that frames are being
forwarded without VLAN tag;
o
Be sure that VLAN is allowed in the port, and be sure that VLAN
is not forbidden on that port
. Frames with VLAN information can
only be forwarded if they ingress at a port that is allowed to
receive frame’s VLAN. If not, packet will be dropped. In addition,
frames with VLAN ID forbidden for a given port will also be
dropped.
Date or time are wrong:
Reason Switches internal clocks are updated based on a NTP server. If date or time is
