Untagged traffic on ETH8 will be assigned a VLAN ID of 4091. ETH8 and the uplinks will also accept traffic that has
already been tagged with a VLAN ID of 4000 as well.
2.5 Connecting to the USB Console Port
This guide shows how to access the serial console which can be used for troubleshooting and diagnostics tasks as well
as some basic configuration.
There are times when directly accessing the console is required. Perhaps GUI or SSH access has been locked out, or
the password has been lost or forgotten.

with the device.
