Actelis Networks ML700 - VLAN Configuration Principles

VLAN Configuration VLAN Configuration Principles
8-2 User Manual ML700
VLAN Configuration Principles
VLANs are separately configured for Customer service traffic (Traffic VLANs) and Actelis
Product NE management traffic (Management VLAN). Traffic VLANs can be edited, added
and deleted, while the Management VLAN can only be edited. (Detailed examples of VLAN
topologies are provided in Appendix G - VLAN Topologies (on page G-1)).
NOTE: VLAN Editing operation causes a short disruption in the traffic flow.
 The following parameters are configured per VLAN:
 VLAN ID - defines a unique identification of a cross-connect between ML device ports,
which participate in the specific Virtual LAN.
 VLAN name - textual description of the cross-connect.
 VLAN type - defines the VLAN as either TRAFFIC, MANAGEMENT or PWE (ML
model dependant). Only Management VLAN includes implicitly (not user configurable) a
CPU of the ML Device, which allows ML device Management access. Traffic and PWE
VLANs will never access the CPU of the ML Device.
 VLAN port member parameter - defines the group of ports, which belong to the particular
Virtual LAN. The traffic is forwarded between VLAN members only, limiting unknown
MAC broadcasts.
VLAN membership type parameter is specified per each VLAN port member and defines
both frame filtering and frame modification behavior of the port by a single parameter.
Table 35: Filtering and Modification Behavior Types
Filtering action types
Modification action types
 Accept ANY traffic (VLAN-tagged or VLAN-
untagged).
 Accept only VLAN-untagged traffic.
 Filter particular VLAN-tagged traffic.
 Do not modify the frame.
 Strip (on egress) and insert (on ingress) a new Tag.
Actelis products support 3 combinations of membership type called Untagged, Tagged,
Stacked. For more information see VLAN Membership Principles (on page 8-8).
