The following configuration can be performed in order to customize the VLAN-based switching operation of the
InfiLINK XG unitunit:
Switch default configuration works as transparent Layer 2 bridge. Therefore, by default any frames with any VLAN tags and untagged frames too will flow freely through wireless link.

Now, our InfiLINK XG unit has two management interfaces: - 10.10.10.12 for untagged frame.
- 192.168.103.38 for VLAN 100.
|
...
Note |

|
In order to allow both tagged and untagged traffic to pass the "Untagged" mode should be configured on selected VLAN. There can be maximum one VID for each port in "Untagged" mode for each portmode. |
Note |
---|
|
Choosing the "Access" mode for a specific port will automatically disable all VLANs on that port. |
...
Both tagged and untagged traffic transmission- "ge0" allows to pass tagged traffic VLAN 100 and VLAN 200.
- "ge1" allows to pass traffic from untagged VLAN 100 and tagged VLAN 200.

| Configured IP address could not be used for management if you begin by enabling the VLAN-based switching and remove the "Untagged" mode. The access to the unit is allowed using initial IP address, in this case 10.10.10.12. |
- In the section "Switch" → "VLAN-based Switching" enable VLAN-based Switching.
- Add VLAN 100 and allow it to pass through ports "ge0", "mgmt" and "radio".
- Set "off" mode on all "Default VLAN" ports.

At this point, the access to the unit is allowed using only VLAN 100 and the newly assigned IP address. Traffic tagged with VLAN 200 will be switched only between the "ge0" and the "radio" ports. Untagged traffic or tagged traffic with other VLANs besides 100 or 200 is not allowed. |
Trunk and Trunk VLANInstallation which requires VLAN tagged frames to flow in both directions through InfiLINK XG wireless the unit wireless link, does not require any specific configuration. Just due to security reasons it is recommended to set up Management VLAN. All the rest configurartion is not needed in most cases, except the issue to deny certain VLANs. Please, use the configuration steps from chapter VLAN Management. |
Access and Trunk VLAN One InfiLINK XG receives VLAN unit receives VLAN tagged frames from switch trunk port (port configured to carry frames with different VLAN tags), another InfiLINK XG connects another unit connects with end-customer LAN with requirement to egress untagged frames from certain VLAN only.
