Configuring VLAN Settings Chapter 8
RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.6.40 8-8
Configuring VLAN Settings
VLAN Management enables separation of user traffic from management traffic whenever such
separation is required. It is recommended that both sides of the link be configured with differ-
ent VLAN IDs for management traffic. (This reduces your chances of accidentally locking
yourself out of the link.)
To enable VLAN management:
1. Click Configuration from the main menu.
2. Choose a site to configure. If you are configuring both sites, choose site B first to
avoid locking yourself out.
3. Choose Management.
4. Open the VLAN tab.
5. Check the Enabled box.
6. Enter a VLAN ID. Its value should be between 1 and 4094.
After entering the VLAN ID, only packets with the specified VLAN ID are processed
for management purposes by the ODU. This includes all the protocols supported by
the ODU (ICMP, SNMP, TELNET and NTP). The VLAN priority is used for the traffic
sent from the ODU to the managing computer. Using VLAN for management traffic
affects all types of management connections (local, network and over the air).
7. Enter a Priority number between 0 and 7.
8. Change the VLAN ID and Priority of the managing computer NIC to be the same as
those of steps 6 and 7 respectively.
9. Click Apply or OK.
Tip
VLAN IDs are used by RADWIN products in three separate contexts:
Management VLAN, Traffic VLAN and Ethernet Ring. It is recommended that
you use different VLAN IDs for each context.
Caution
Changing this parameter causes the RADWIN Manager to immediately
disconnect. To avoid inconvenience, you should verify the change by
setting the VLAN only to one ODU, and only after verifying proper
management operation, change the other ODU VLAN setting.
