Vlan Tagged Management - Redline RDL-3000 User Manual

VLAN Tagged Management

When Management VLAN Tagging is enabled, the management VID must be
specified. When this feature is enabled, the RDL-3000 recognizes only management
commands with this VID.
For management using the local Ethernet port, it is not required to create a Service
Group (sector controller) or Service (subscriber). When Management VLAN Tagging is
enabled, the VLAN tags on ingress packets are checked before the packets are
submitted for classification to a Service Group or Service.
Over-the-air management on PMP systems is possible only after creating a Service
Group to classify the management traffic and a member Service for each participating
subscriber. The Service Group and member Services should all specify the same VID.
Select CIR and priority values that ensure adequate bandwidth and priority for
management traffic during normal system operation. For network security, over the air
management is only available from the sector controller.
For initial installation and setup, it is recommended to use Pass through mode for the
management Service Group and member Services.

Note: If the Management VLAN Tagging feature is to be used, it is strongly
recommended to create and test VLAN connectivity before enabling VLAN Management.
If any connectivity issue exists with VLAN services, the RDL-3000 unit management
functions will be unreachable and a site visit and/or long reset operation may be required
to recover control of the unit.
