• The Interfaces section provides the means to control the VLAN tag
processing mode, as each local interface supports three different
scenarios:
o Pass – transparent mode, traffic remains unchanged.
o Strip – all tags are stripped.
o Tag – all packets are tagged with the specified VLAN tag.
• STP – enables/disables Spanning Tree Protocol for the current switch
group.
• IGMP – enables/disables IGMP-Snooping for the current switch group.
• Repeater – enables the repeater mode for the current switch group. When
set into Repeater mode the unit acts as a simple switch, relaying packets
to all ports except the source port.
• Admin – sets the switch group as the admin group. All packets that have
originated at the unit itself (e.g. RIP/OSPF or ICMP ping) leave the MINT
network via the admin group.
For all units running software v1.86 and earlier: If no Admin Group is selected,
such packets are unable to leave the network. Starting software v1.87 SVI
interface was introduced allowing for a simpler and more transparent mgmt
traffic processing.
• Mode – selects switch group operation mode:
o Normal – standard mode. The switch group operation is based on
the configured Rules, packets are processed without
modification. This is the default option.
o Trunk – when a switch group operates in Trunk mode the inbound
traffic is untagged and placed into switch groups in accordance
with its VLAN tag. Please refer to the WANFleX OS manual for a
detailed description.
o In-Trunk – the In-Trunk mode allows to filter out the traffic that
belongs to a certain switch group that is a member of a trunk
Switch Group. Please refer to the WANFleX OS manual for a
detailed description.
o Upstream – this mode is used in video surveillance systems for
upstream multicast flows. Please refer to the WANFleX OS
manual for a detailed description.
o Downstream – this mode is used in video surveillance systems for
downstream traffic. Please refer to the WANFleX OS manual for
a detailed description.
• Description – use this field to provide a brief description for the switch
group.
• Up/Down arrows – allow users to organize the switch group list.
• Remove Group – permanently removes switch group from the unit
configuration.
The Rules subsection contains the Switch Group rules configured for each
group.
