Configuring Ethernet VLAN Tagging

Ethernet VLAN tagging allows specific application traffic to be segmented within a wireless mesh
network and then forwarded (bridged) to a wired LAN (access mode) or bridged to another wireless
mesh network (trunk mode).
A typical public safety access application using Ethernet VLAN tagging is placement of video
surveillance cameras at various outdoor locations within a city. Each of these video cameras has a wired
connection to a MAP. The video of all these cameras is then streamed across the wireless backhaul to a
central command station on a wired network (see
