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.
– When making the connection for a P2P VLAN flow (Ethernet port to
radio), the user should enter a MAC address of all O's
(0000000000000000). P2P VLAN cross-connects will direct matching
VLAN-tagged Ethernet traffic to the cross-connected ports regardless of
the destination MAC address in the Ethernet frames.
– Ethernet traffic entering the cross-connected port with a VLAN tag
matching the flow ID will be directed only to the port on the other end of
the cross-connect. Traffic will not be flooded. This will also take prece-
dence over any MAC address learning for VLAN-tagged traffic that
matches the flow ID in the cross-connect.
– Ethernet traffic entering the cross-connected port with no VLAN tag or
VLAN tags that do not match the flow ID specified in the cross-connect
will flood to all ports until MAC address learning takes place. The P2P
VLAN cross-connect will have no effect on this traffic.
– VLAN tagged Ethernet traffic that enters a port will be dropped if the
VLAN tag matches the flow ID of a cross-connect that is on a different
port.
4.7.6.1 Cross Connecting PDH (P32E1DS1/P2E3DS3 module) to RADIO (MD300 module)
See Figure 4 - 29. The following procedure applies to switching any or all DS1 ports 1
through 32 and/or DS3 ports 1 and 2 through the CSM module to the MD300 (RADIO)
module.
The license key installed on the CSM determines the Ethernet data
capacity that can be cross connected.
Prerequisites:
• The P32E1DS1/P2E3DS3 module and MD300 module must be enabled
on the respective CSM and MD300 module provisioning screens.
• The Service Profile on the P32E1DS1/P2E3DS3 module Settings screen
must be set to TDM2ETH for each DS1/DS3 cross connected.
• Each DS1/DS3 line to be cross connected must have a Flow ID number
assigned to it on the respective P32E1DS1/P2E3DS3 module Settings
screen.
