Configuring VLAN Settings Chapter 8RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.6.50 8-8Configuring VLAN SettingsVLAN Management enables separation of user traffic from management traffic whenever suchseparation 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 lockingyourself 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 toavoid 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 processedfor management purposes by the ODU. This includes all the protocols supported bythe ODU (ICMP, SNMP, TELNET and NTP). The VLAN priority is used for the trafficsent from the ODU to the managing computer. Using VLAN for management trafficaffects 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 asthose of steps 6 and 7 respectively.9. Click Apply or OK.TipVLAN IDs are used by RADWIN products in three separate contexts:Management VLAN, Traffic VLAN and Ethernet Ring. It is recommended thatyou use different VLAN IDs for each context.CautionChanging this parameter causes the RADWIN Manager to immediatelydisconnect. To avoid inconvenience, you should verify the change bysetting the VLAN only to one ODU, and only after verifying propermanagement operation, change the other ODU VLAN setting.
