Vlan Tag; Dhcp / Static - Pockethernet Manual

VLAN tag

By activating this option, you can set up Pockethernet to use 802.1q VLAN
tagging for any outgoing packet of DHCP requests or pings.
This allows you to test the network connectivity on a specific VLAN (ID), while
also defining the packets priority (PCP: 0-7) and the Drop eligible indicator
(DEI).
If the port is in access/untagged mode, the VLAN tags are removed by the
switch before sending out the packets, hence they are not detectable by the
device. If configured for the port, Pockethernet can receive CDP or LLDP
information, which usually includes the native VLAN ID. If the port is in
trunk/tagged mode, or is an access port also carrying tagged packets, you
can use the traffic monitor feature to see the VLAN IDs of frames that are
sent over the link
DHCP / static IP
This section allows you to test the networks DHCP settings and make
Pockethernet request its IP configuration via DHCP, or you can set up static
IP settings to be used for the ping tests.
In case of DHCP, the DHCP offer from the server is parsed and all important
fields (e.g. server IP and MAC address, lease times, further servers) are listed
in the details.
A link test will always be selected in order to test the DHCP/static IP settings.
The app will auto-select it once you select the CDP/LLDP test.
