42 GE Information D.20 RIO - HARDWARE USER’S MANUALD.20 RIO CONFIGURATION UTILITY CHAPTER 4: SETTING UP THE D.20 RIOFigure 9: VLAN connectionsSwitch B is also configured to support a VLAN on a certain network port, which isconnected to the D.20 RIO. Since this port is dedicated to the VLAN, only informationflagged for the VLAN is transmitted to the D.20 RIO. As well, information sent on this VLANfrom the D.20 RIO device can be classified with a higher priority, which will ensure a higherlikelihood of transmission during times of network congestion.You can configure the following options on each VLAN you create:• IP address, subnet mast, and default gateway: You can assign static values or obtaindynamic values via DHCP. Once you have configured these values, you can use themto access your VLAN.• EGRESS priority mappings: Set the QoS priority level for data transmitted on this VLAN.Priority levels range from 0 to 7 with 7 being the highest priority. If a QoS-enableddevice receives packets transmitted on this VLAN, it should apply prioritization basedon the level you specify.• Ethernet reorder flag header: This option is reserved for use by GE Digital Energy stafffor customer support tasks.NOTEWhen the D.20 RIO is configured for VLAN, manually set the D.20 RIO's VLAN IP address.From the D.20 RIO HMI, select: Connections > D.20 Client > Configuration Parameters >IP Address field.Enable or disable VLAN redundancyBefore enabling or disabling LAN Redundancy (i.e., for a bonded network) you need toremove the VLAN ID's created in the network interfaces of the D.20 RIO.Disabling LANredundancyTo disable LAN redundancy if a VLAN is configured:1. Connect to the rear maintenance RS-232 port. See “D.20 RIO field and networkconnectors” on page 29.2.
