Switched link
MINT architecture has an ability of using switching capabilities along with
routing. Thus, if required by your network, the link can be used to connect two
parts of one Ethernet segment. Switch, realized in InfiNet Wireless units, is a
very powerful tool that can be used in many different scenarios but in this
particular example we will be using it for one simple purpose – create a simple
switched link. The following steps should be taken:
1. Configure IP-addresses (e.g. on eth0 interface) from the same subnet. Say,
9.1.8.1/24 for the first unit and 9.1.8.2/24 for the second one.
2. On both units the switch needs to be configured. Although, switch realized in
InfiNet Wireless units is a powerful tool and can be used for many different
purposes, here in our example, we will use the simplest configuration which
turns the unit to a full switch mode. The following set of commands should
be executed on both units in the link:
switch group 1 add eth0 rf4.0
switch group 1 start
switch admin-group 1
switch start
