SM membership in VLANs
With the supported VLAN functionality, the radios determine bridge forwarding on the basis of not only
the destination MAC address, but also the VLAN ID of the destination. This provides flexibility in how SMs
are used:
l Each SM can be a member in its own VLAN.
l Each SM can be in its own broadcast domain, such that only the radios that are members of the
VLAN can see broadcast and multicast traffic to and from the SM.
l The network operator can define a work group of SMs, regardless of the AP(s) towhich they
register.
PMP 450 Platform Family modules provide the VLAN frame filters that are described in VLAN filters in
point-to-multipoint modules.
