MAC address
The management agent end-station MAC address is recorded on the underside of
the enclosure. The MAC address is not configurable by the user.
VLAN membership
The management agent can be configured to transmit and receive either untagged,
priority-tagged, C-tagged (IEEE 802.1Q) or S-tagged (IEEE 801.ad) frames. S-
tagged frames must be single tagged, in other words, an S-tag with no
encapsulated C-tag. The VLAN ID can be 0 (priority tagged) or in the range 1 to
4094.
Out-of-band management
PTP 800 supports an end-to-end out-of-band management mode in which the
management agent can be reached from the management port at the local CMU,
and (assuming that the wireless link is established) the management port at the
remote CMU. This management mode allows communication from the CMU
management port to Ethernet end stations reached through the remote CMU,
supporting construction of an extended management network that is isolated from
the customer network.
End-to-end out-of-band management is possible only when the network
management mode is configured to "out-of-band" at every CMU.
Out-of-band quality of service
Out-of-band management traffic is forwarded over the wireless link using a
dedicated channel. The management channel represents a single traffic class, and
the same quality of service is afforded to all management frames. Traffic in the
management channel is fragmented for transmission over the wireless link to
minimize the jitter imposed on high priority traffic in the customer network.
The management channel has higher priority than traffic in the customer network,
subject to a configurable committed information rate (CIR) with a range between
200 Kbit/s and 2 Mbit/s. Committed capacity that remains unused by management
traffic is available for customer traffic.
Out-of-band local management
The out-of-band local management mode is similar to the standard out-of-band
mode, except that management frames are not forwarded over the wireless link.
Connection to the management agent is solely through the management port of the
local CMU. The management channel CIR control is disabled in out-of-band local
mode.
Out-of-band local management is the default management mode.
