Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are typically used for segmentation of core network
components and network access rules. A VLAN provides the equivalent of a wired patch
panel through software (packet filtering) rather than hardware (physical wires).
Moving data over multiple subnets and routers requires a process of VLAN Tagging.
VLAN Tagging simply adds extra information in the packet header of Ethernet frames so
routers know how to pass along the data.
The RLX2 (v34) provides:
Transparent support of VLAN tags (802.1Q)
Port/Radio-based VLAN tagging with Managed Switches
Port/Radio-based VLAN tagging without Managed Switches
Transparent Support of VLAN Tags (802.1Q)
The following provides an example of transparent communication between Managed
Switches using VLAN trunking.
