3. Determine whether to allow Horizon Compact to match the VLAN settings in response
to incoming packets, or whether to restrict responses to those incoming packets
containing the programmed VLAN tag. There are two modes (set network protocol strict
[off/on]) which are commonly known as “friendly” and “strict” mode.
i. “Friendly” mode. In this mode, Horizon Compact matches the VLAN format of
the incoming packet. If an incoming packet contains a VLAN tag, then Horizon
Compact responds with a VLAN tag matching the incoming packet. If the
incoming packet does not contain a VLAN tag then Horizon Compact does not
insert a VLAN tag in the response. Packets generated by Horizon Compact
(e.g. SNMP traps) will contain the programmed VLAN tag.
ii. “Strict” mode. Horizon Compact will only respond to packets containing the
programmed VLAN tag. All other packets will be ignored. Packets generated
by Horizon Compact (e.g. SNMP traps) will always contain the programmed
VLAN tag.
