Product description
Maximum number of IEEE mode V-LANs and Provider Bridge Mode CIDs
In combination with the X5IP option card, the 1643 AM / 1643 AMS supports a
maximum number of 64 IEEE mode V-LANs and Provider Bridge Mode CIDs based
on the 'per NE' rule.
LAN port as network port or customer port
The X5IP option card can be used to operate a LAN port as a network port or
customer port. Based on the IEEE 802.1Q and IEEE 802.1ad modes, the 1643 AM /
1643 AMS supports a flexible operational port role assignment per LAN port. During
port provisioning, a LAN port can be set to a 'network' role.
The following properties are applicable to a port in a 'network' port role:
• No V-LAN tagging operations
• Provider based Spanning Tree Protocol (provisionable, default=enabled)
• GVRP operations (provisionable , default=enabled)
The following properties are applicable to a port in a 'customer' port role:
• V-LAN tagging operations
• No provider based Spanning Tree Protocol
• No GVRP operations
WAN port as network port or customer port
In IEEE 802.1Q and IEEE 802.1ad modes, the Network Element supports a flexible
operational port role assignment per WAN port. Next to the default "network" port
role, a WAN port can be set to "customer" role.
The following properties apply to a port in "network" port role:
• No VLAN tag/untag operation
• Provider Spanning Tree Protocol (provisionable, default is enabled)
• GVRP operation (provisionable, default is enabled)
The following properties apply to a port in "customer" port role:
• VLAN tag/untag operation
• No provider Spanning Tree Protocol
• No GVRP operation
Configurable rSTP and GVRP participation
The participation of network ports in the rSTP is configurable for virtual switches that
are operating in IEEE 802.1Q and IEEE 802.1ad modes. The network port participation
enables BPDUs to be transmitted, received, and interpreted.
The participation in GVRP for network ports that participate in rSTP is
user-provisionable. The network port participation in rSTP enables BPDUs to be
transmitted, received, and interpreted.
