Vlan Operation - GE MDS ORBIT MCR Technical Manual

Ethernet security settings are not set by default so Ethernet traffic is unobstructed until security is
enabled. Ethernet security settings include:
security-mode – either EAP, MAB, or none
radius-server – The name of a RADIUS server configuration in system settings
Monitoring
Read-only parameters for Ethernet ports show the state of the security on the port:
run show interfaces-state interface ETH1 security
The security status will be displayed as one of the following states:
security disabled – Security is disabled for this port and traffic is not blocked
security authorized – The port has been authorized by a RADIUS server and traffic is not blocked
security rejected – The RADIUS server rejected the last authentication request
security pending – A RADIUS request was sent and the Orbit is waiting for a response

VLAN Operation

Understanding
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a logically segmented LAN network that exists across multiple
physical LAN devices. The VLANs are virtual interface types in the Orbit MCR and can be assigned
unique IP addresses. They are treated the same as any other interface type, but they offer a way to link
traffic between member interfaces. As such, a VLAN device can be thought of as a bridging device
Configure
To utilize VLANs, at least one or more VLAN interfaces must be created. Click on +Add on the
Interfaces / Add/Delete Interface Screen. Below are the minimal steps to set up a VLAN virtual device:
Create the VLAN as an interface with a name by clicking on the Add button.
