5.1.3 The 'Switch' menu
In 'Switch' menu, you may configure switch ports.
5.1.3.1 The 'Switch ports settings' submenu
In the 'Switch ports settings' submenu, you may configure parameters of integrated Ethernet switch ports.
5.1.3.1.1 Configuration
The switch is able to work in four modes:
1. Without VLAN settings–to use this mode, Enable VLAN checkboxes should be deselected for all ports, 'IEEE
Mode' value should be set to 'Fallback' for all ports, mutual availability of data ports should be set to
'Output' with the respective checkboxes.
'802.1q'
routing table in '802.1q' tab should not contain any
entries.
2. Port based VLAN–to use this mode, 'IEEE Mode' value should be set to 'Fallback' for all ports, mutual
availability of data ports should be set to 'Output' with the respective checkboxes. For VLAN operation, use
'Enable VLAN', 'Default VLAN ID', 'Egress', and 'Override'. '802.1q' routing table in '802.1q' tab should not
contain any entries.
3. 802.1q–to use this mode, 'IEEE Mode' value should be set to 'Check' or 'Secure' for all ports. For VLAN
operation, use 'Enable VLAN', 'Default VLAN ID', and 'Override'. Also, routing rules described in '802.1q'
routing table in '802.1q' tab will apply.
4. 802.1q + Port based VLAN. 802.1q mode may be used in combination with 'Port based VLAN'. In this case,
'IEEE Mode' value should be set to 'Fallback' for all ports, mutual availability of data ports should be set to
'Output' with the respective checkboxes. For VLAN operation, use 'Enable VLAN', 'Default VLAN ID',
'Egress', and 'Override'. Also, routing rules described in '802.1q' routing table in '802.1q' tab will apply.
For example of switch configuration using VLAN, see Appendix D.
Gateway switch is equipped with 3 electrical Ethernet ports, 1/2 optic port and 1 port for CPU interactions:
– Port0, port1, port2–electrical Ethernet ports of the device;
– CPU–internal port linked to the device CPU;
