By default InfiNet Wireless R5000 devices have a single switch group configured. Such configuration allows for unrestricted management access and transparent forwarding of all traffic.

"config show switch" command output:

#MAC Switch config
switch group 1 add eth0 rf5.0
     # group 1 attached to ‘svi1’
switch group 1 start

switch start

Command	Description
switch group GROUP_ID add eth0 rf5.0	Assigns interfaces to a switch group
switch list VLANS_LIST numrange add 10 20	Creates a list of VID, named "VLANS_LIST", including VID 10 and 20
switch group GROUP_ID vlan VLANS_LIST	Creates a rule for the switch group “GROUP_ID” that only allows VID from "VLANS_LIST"
switch group GROUP_ID start	Enables switch group
switch start	Enables switching

Table - Basic VLAN configuration commands

Configuration scenario

This document uses the following network setup:

Figure - Connection scheme

VLAN 100 is a management vlan
VLAN 50 is a data vlan.

Configuration steps:

Prepare
Set up management
Set up traffic forwarding
Verify
View configurations.

Prepare

Make sure the radio link between the devices is up using “mint map” command.

NOTE

In case you have difficulties establishing a wireless link, please refer to “Setting up a basic PtP link” for detailed instructions.

Figure - "mint map" command output

The highlighted string indicates that the radio link between "MASTER_STL" and "SLAVE_STL" devices is active.

Set up management

Configure «sviX" and «vlanX" interfaces. Refer to «Network Settings» for detailed description.

By default, all InfiNet Wireless R5000 devices have a management interface “svi1” configured. You can change this interface’s parameters, add a new SVI interface, or replace the current interface with a new one.

For the purpose of this article, interface "svi1" and switch group 1 will be replaced by the interface "svi100" and switch group "100".

To set up a new SVI interface and a new switch group issue the following commands:

Command	Description
ifc sviX up	Creates SVI interface. “X” is an interface identifier ranging from 0 to 4999
ifc vlanX vlan Y vlandev eth0 up	Creates “vlanX” interface: "X" - interface identifier ranging from 0 to 4999 "Y" - VID "eth0" - physical parent interface
switch group Y add vlanX rf5.0	Assigns interfaces to a switch group
svi X group Y	Assigns "sviX" interface to a switch group "Y"
sw group 1 remove; ifc svi1 destroy; ifc sviX IP/mask; sw group Y start	All commands entered as a single line separated by “;” symbol will be executed sequentially. This feature is used to avoid losing access to the device, when the default management interface is deleted: "sw group 1 remove" – removes switch group 1 "ifc svi1 destroy" – removes interface "svi1" "ifc sviX IP/mask" – assigns an IP address and a subnet mask to an interface
config save	Saves the configuration

Command line configuration example:

MASTER_STL

ifc svi100 up
ifc vlan100 vlan 100 vlandev eth0 up
sw group 100 add vlan100 rf5.0
svi 100 group 100
sw group 1 remove; ifc svi1 destroy; ifc svi100 10.10.10.1/24; sw group 100 start 
config save

SLAVE_STL

ifc svi100 up
ifc vlan100 vlan 100 vlandev eth0 up
sw group 100 add vlan100 rf5.0
svi 100 group 100
sw group 1 remove; ifc svi1 destroy; ifc svi100 10.10.10.2/24; sw group 100 start 
config save

NOTE

In case a switch group has a vlan interface assigned, all traffic with respective VID will be forwarded within this switch group (no need to configure any additional rules). 802.1q tag will be stripped.

For detailed instructions on configuring management via Web GUI please refer to "Remote management of the R5000 units".

Set up traffic forwarding

Configuring data vlan:

Command	Description
switch group GROUP_ID add eth0 rf5.0	Creates a new switch group and assigns interfaces to it
sw group GROUP_ID vlan X	Creates a rule for the switch group “GROUP_ID” that only allows VID “X” to be forwarded by this switch group
sw group GROUP_ID start	Enables switch group
config save	Saves the configuration

Command line configuration example:

sw group 50 add eth0 rf5.0
sw group 50 vlan 50
sw group 50 start
config save

NOTE

In order to forward two or more VLANs within a single switch group create a VLAN list and add a respective rule to a switch group:

switch list LISTNAME numrange add VALUE
sw group GROUP_ID vlan LISTNAME

Example:

switch list DATA numrange add 50-99
sw group 50 vlan DATA

Verify

After you apply the above configurations only devices from VLAN 100 will be able to access InfiNet Wireless R5000 management interface.

To verify the operation use «switch group GROUP_ID dump».

Example: use «switch group 50 dump» to make sure that only frames with VID 50 are being forwarded within switch group 50 and MAC addresses belong to the devices from VLAN 50.

Figure - "switch group 50 dump" command output

The same for the switch group 100:

Figure - "switch group 100 dump" command output

The displayed VIDs in the “Vlan” are “0” because the 802.1q tag “100” was stripped by the vlan interface.
