    4.7.6 Cross Connections Note Cross connection is only required for TDM traffic. Generic Ethernet traffic is handled automatically via MAC Address learning in the Ethernet switch. Cross connections can also be used with point-to- point VLAN Ethernet traffic to direct traffic based on VLAN tag rather than MAC address.
  • Page 120 Point to Point VLAN The Point to Point (P2P) VLAN cross-connect feature allows the user to direct VLAN-tagged traffic between specified Ethernet and/or radio ports. Rather than directing all traffic to and from the cross-connected ports, the feature directs Ethernet traffic where the VLAN tag matches the cross-con- nect Flow ID.
