Configuration of VLANs
341
The configuration of BAT Router devices within the VLAN realm has to per-
form two important tasks:
D Defining virtual LANs and assigning them a name, a VLAN ID and the af-
fected interfaces.
D Defining for the interfaces how to proceed with data packets with or with-
out VLAN tags.
10.3.1 The network table
In the network table are those virtual LANs defined, in which the BAT should
participate. The table contains 32 entries at maximum with the following in-
formation:
D Name: The VLAN name serves only as a description during configuration.
This name is used at no other place.
D VLAN ID: This number marks the VLAN unambiguously. Possible values
range from 1 to 4094.
D Port list: All BAT interfaces belonging to the VLAN are entered into this
list. As ports can be entered:
D “LAN-n” for all Ethernet ports of the device.
D “WLAN-n” for point-to-station WLAN ports.
D “P2P-n” for point-to-point WLAN ports.
Given a device with a LAN interface and a WLAN port, e.g. ports “LAN-1”
and “WLAN-1” can be entered. In case of port ranges, the individual
ports must be separated by a tilde: “P2P-1~P2P-4”.
Note: The available ports can be found in the port table (→ Seite 341).
Example for a network table:
10.3.2 The port table
The port table configures the individual ports of the device for use by the
VLAN. The table has got an entry for each port of the device with the follow-
ing values:
D Port: Name of the port, not editable.
Name VLAN ID Port list
Default 1 LAN-1, WLAN-1, WLAN-2
Sales 2 LAN-1, WLAN-1
Marketing 3 LAN-1, WLAN-2
