Product ManualXG-7100

When data is received on ETH1-8, the switch is capable of utilizing LAGG to determine whether that data should be

sent out of PORT 9 or PORT 10. That data then passes over one of two 2.5Gbps switch links (PORT 9/10) to the SoC.

Data coming from PORT 9 has a direct line to ix2 and data from PORT 10 has a direct line to ix3.

pfSense LAGG will then take in trafﬁc from both ix2 and ix3 as though it came in on a single interface, lagg0. The

same concept applies to trafﬁc sourcing from the pfSense LAGG to the switch LAGG.

2.3 Switch VLANs

By default, ETH1 on the the switch is conﬁgured as a WAN interface and ETH2-8 are conﬁgured as the LAN interface.

These eight switchports are customizable and each can be conﬁgured to act as an independent interface. For example,

all of these conﬁgurations are possible:

• ETH1-8 dedicated as a LAN switch

• ETH1-4 conﬁgured as a switch for LAN network A and ETH5-8 conﬁgured as a switch for LAN network B

• ETH1-8 conﬁgured as individual network interfaces

• ETH1 conﬁgured for WAN A, ETH2 conﬁgured for WAN B, ETH3 conﬁgured for LAN network A, ETH4-6

conﬁgured as a switch for LAN network B, and ETH8 conﬁgured as a H/A sync port.

These scenarios are possible by utilizing VLANs. Each of the switchports (ETH1-8 and PORT9-10) are VLAN aware

interfaces. They are capable of functioning like a standard access or trunk port:

Access Port: Adds a VLAN tag to inbound untagged trafﬁc

Trunk Port: Allows tagged trafﬁc containing speciﬁed VLAN IDs

In the default conﬁguration, two VLANs are used to create the ETH1 WAN interface and ETH2-8 LAN interface:

WAN VLAN 4090

LAN VLAN 4091

ETH1-8 are conﬁgured to act as Access ports.
