Network ports
Each Quanta 5 family device has 3 ports:
- ge0 - Gigabit Ethernet 1000BASE-T port;
- radio - internal radio interface;
- mgmt - internal interface for device management.
Only ge0 interface is available to configure. The following parameters can be changed:
- Status: enabled/disabled.
- Duplex: duplex mode, "auto" is by default.
- Description: arbitrary text description.
VLAN based switching
VLAN based switching allows to create list of allowed VLANs and their handling on the unit switch plane. If VLAN based switching is enabled but no VLANs are added, device ports will allow untagged traffic only. Each entry of list establishes the relationship between VLAN ID and ports VLAN modes.
| VLAN ID | VLAN tag in range from 1 to 4095. May be set in a few ways, examples:
|
| Description | Arbitrary text description. |
| Priority | Allows to set the priority of a specific VLAN according to 802.1p ranging from 0 to 7, where 0 - the lowest priority level, 7 - the highest. |
| Port mode | VLAN mode should be set for each of network ports. Mode determines the way which VLAN tagged network packets will be handled by switch. There are three ports modes:

Connectivity matrix
Allows to configure the traffic transfer between the network ports of the device. Configuration is performed visually using switches. The green switch indicates allowed connections, the red one - denied:
- ge0 - Gigabit Ethernet port.
- radio - internal radio interface;
- mgmt - internal interface for device management.
Traffic flow between ports is performed in accordance with VLAN modes set, if the VLAN based switching is enabled.
