One of the most common solutions to separate data traffic from the BS to the CPEs and vice versa is to create VLAN filters within different switching groups. For the management traffic, we have to create a separate switching group and VLAN. In this case, the CPEs cannot communicate between them and they cannot access the management VLAN:
For this example, we have four InfiNet Wireless R5000 units with the default factory configuration and we are going to configure one of them to work as BS and the other three to work as CPEs (in this example, from the traffic point of view).
Let’s log in to one of the four units and configure it as BS. We have to go to "Basic Settings" → "MAC Switch" section and modify the configuration for the default Switch Group #1 in order to accommodate the traffic from all CPEs:
We have to create a second Switch Group for the management traffic to the unit:
We have to assign an IP address to SVI interface and create VLAN interface:
The management traffic in our network belongs to VLAN 100 and therefore, it is tagged. In order to access the unit through the management network, VLAN interface should be added to the management group.
Let’s log in to one of the remained three units and configure it as CPE (in this example, from the traffic point of view). We have to configure two Switch Groups, as well: one for the data traffic and another one for the unit management. However, the default Switch Group #1 cannot be used for any of these purposes, so we are going to remove it in order to simplify the configuration:
We have to create another Switch Group that will handle all the data traffic that crosses through the CPE. The data traffic received by the CPE could be untagged (the scenario covered in this step) or tagged (the scenario covered in Step 6b).
The process is the same as the one described in the previous sections, however, there are two important differences:
We are going to perform the following configuration:
The Ethernet interface must act as a trunk port in this scenario, so we have to create a filter rule for the Switch group #101.
In case the client has multiple VLANs, a separate Switch Group should be created for each VLAN.
We are going to perform the following configuration:
For the management traffic to the CPE, we have to configure a dedicated Switch Group, SVI interface.
We have to create an SVI interface for the management traffic and to assign an IP address:
Please repeat the steps from 5 to 8 in order to configure the other two CPEs. Configure Switch groups 102 and 103, filter rules for the VLANs 102 and 103 (in case of tagged traffic) and management IP addresses on svi100 interfaces.
