The Redline RDL-3000 can be configured to bypass the VLAN by using "Pass through" mode. In this mode:
- Traffic that is untagged or does not match any VLAN ID is forwarded without modification. - Only one Service Group and one Service per subscriber can be set to "Pass through" mode. - It allows transparent forwarding of unclassified traffic between ports. - It can also be used to add or remove the outermost VLAN tag (Q-in-Q), depending on traffic direction.
This configuration is recommended during initial installation and setup to ensure management traffic is not disrupted by VLAN services.

Chapter 2 System Features RDL-3000 Overview The RDL-3000 system is designed and manufactured by Redline Communications -- a world leader in design and production of Broadband Fixed Wireless (BFW) systems. Fig. 2: Site Survey: RDL-3000 System Components Software configured common radio...
Note: The maximum total length of the Ethernet cable is 100 m (328 ft). For example, 95 m from the RDL-3000 to the PoE and 5 m from the PoE to the local network equipment. Fig. 3: Features - RDL-3000 - Ethernet and Sync Ports (Bottom View of Radio)
Fig. 4: Features - RDL-3000 RF Ports (Top View of Radio) RF Jumper Cables Two RF jumper cables are provided with each RDL-3000 mounting kit. The RF cables conduct RF signals between the RDL-3000 and the antenna system. The cable length supplied (230 mm or 400 mm) is based on the type of mounting kit.
2.9.2 Telnet (CLI) To monitor and configure the RDL-3000 using CLI, open a Telnet session using the unit IP address. When the command prompt screen appears, login to the RDL-3000. The default username is 'admin' and the default password is 'admin'. The RDL-3000 supports two concurrent Telnet sessions.
Note: The PoE does not amplify the Ethernet signal. The maximum total length of the Ethernet cable is 91.5 m (300 ft). For example, 90 m (295 ft) from the RDL-3000 to the PoE and 1.5 m (5 ft) from the PoE to the local network equipment.
(factory default), the RDL-3000 has very restricted operating parameters. The operator must obtain and enter a permanent options key for each RDL-3000 unit before deploying units in a production network. Refer to the following sections for operation in PMP mode.
User Manual Operation in PMP mode is controlled by the options keys. Enter PMP-enabled options keys before deploying and configuring the RDL-3000 units. The options keys enable specific PMP options, including the total number of subscribers. A specific range of RF power settings are provided for PMP operation.
3.2.2 Services and Service Groups The RDL-3000 operates as a VLAN-aware wireless L2 switch, classifying and forwarding traffic based on the packet VID. Ethernet ingress packets containing a VLAN (802.1Q) field are first compared to the tagged-type Service Groups (sector controller) or Services (subscriber) associated with that port.
RDL-3000 User Manual Services Services define classification (filtering) for ingress and egress packets at the subscriber Ethernet port, and set the uplink and downlink rates (per Service definition) for unicast traffic transmitted across the wireless interface. Service settings include VLAN ID (tag), default priority, parent Link, and parent Service Group (see 3.2.3: Setting Wireless Rates...
RDL-3000 User Manual Service Groups Services Groups define classification for ingress and egress packets at the sector controller Ethernet port, and set the uplink and downlink rates (per Service Group) for broadcast and multicast traffic transmitted across the wireless interface. Service Group settings include VLAN ID (tag), default priority, and broadcast rates (see 3.2.3: Setting...
Fig. 13: PMP - Wireless Rates Notes: 1. Unicast traffic with an unknown destination (all RDL-3000 units maintain a forwarding table) is transmitted two modulation steps below the lowest rate currently in-use across all active Services.
RDL-3000 User Manual 3.2.4 Pass through Mode A Service Group or Service set to 'Pass through' mode forwards (unmodified) packets not matched to any tagged Service Group or Service (e.g., unmatched VID or packet without 802.1Q tag). Examples of 'Pass through' mode: Forward traffic transparently between two ports.
RDL-3000 User Manual 3.2.5 Subscriber-to-Subscriber Traffic Subscriber-to-subscriber traffic (hairpinning) refers to forwarding a packet received on the subscriber Ethernet port to another subscriber in the same sector. Subscribers do not communicate directly, and packets are forwarded to the sector controller and re- transmitted (unmodified) over the wireless interface to the destination subscriber.
Local Management A Service Group and Services are not required for local access to the RDL-3000 using the Ethernet port. Ingress packets received on the Ethernet port are checked for a VLAN tag with the management VID before performing classification, and matching packets are forwarded directly to the management application.
RDL-3000 User Manual 3.2.7 PMP Configurations This section describes basic configurations for an RDL-3000 PMP system. VLAN Services Default Groups and Services In this example, all voice traffic is separated from data traffic, allowing specific CIR and PIR value to be set for this traffic. All traffic not classified to the Voice Service Group is processed by the Data Group (Pass through mode).
RDL-3000 User Manual VLAN Mapping In this example, the RDL-3000 performs VLAN mapping between selected ports. This function is comparable to Label Switch Router (LSR) in Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS). VLAN tagging is assigned independently for each Service Group (sector controller port) and Service (subscriber port).
RDL-3000 User Manual Strict VLAN Tagging In this example, only identified VLAN traffic is forwarded across the wireless interface. By not specifying a pass though Service Group, all unclassified packets are discarded. Fig. 19: PMP - Operation - Strict VLAN Tagging...
RDL-3000 User Manual TLS (Transparent LAN Services) Extended TLS and Double Tagging In this example, TLS traffic is extended across the wireless interface to remote locations. The TLS packets are segregated from other traffic by specifying a reserved VID for this traffic.
RDL-3000 User Manual Port-by-Port Tagging In this example, the sector controller port accepts only tagged traffic and all subscriber ports are set to Pass though mode. A new Service Group is defined for every VLAN supported at the sector controller, with each Service Group having exactly one connection on the required link.
RDL-3000 User Manual PTP Mode The RDL-3000 can operate as a point-to-point (PTP) VLAN-aware wireless L2 switch, with traffic being classified and forwarded based on the packet VID. Each classification includes CIR/PIR settings to guarantee required bandwidth. The RDL-3000 also provides a 'Pass through' classification to forward traffic not matched to any defined VID, or to generally forward all traffic received on a port.
Web Interface Network Connection to RDL-3000 The RDL-3000 can be configured and monitored using a PC equipped with a standard Ethernet port and a Web browser (Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher) or Telnet client. Refer to the following diagram for basic connections.
255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 2. On the test PC, open a browser and enter the unit RDL-3000 IP address. 3. When the dialog screen is displayed, enter the username and password to login. The factory default username is 'admin', and the default password is 'admin'.

If the operator can not access the RDL-3000 management interface (unknown IP, username, and/or password), a long reset operation must be performed to provide access the unit. The long reset provides an opportunity to login to the RDL-3000 using the default IP, usernames and passwords. The long reset procedure requires local access to the RDL-3000 PoE adapter to power-cycle the RDL-3000, and a PC with an Ethernet cable and a Telnet client or Web browser.
Modify settings as required and reboot the RDL-3000 to exit from long reset mode. If using a web browser to access the RDL-3000, prepare the PC for by opening a Web browser on the PC and typing the following URL into the address bar: http://192.168.25.2...

Chapter 7 Security Overview The Redline RDL-3000 provides a high level of security and reliability. Security features include wireless authentication using X.509 certificates, and wireless encryption using AES encryption. AES encryption is optional and may be purchased separately and enabled by loading an AES-enabled options key.
2. Always use secure transfer (e.g., SSH or SSL) when working with encryption keys and certificates. 3. It is recommended to use the RDL-3000 local Ethernet port to transfer encryption keys and certificates, or sftp if loading certificates or keys across an open network.
1. Obtain an AES-enabled upgrade options key for all communicating RDL-3000 systems. 2. Copy the new options key to each RDL-3000 and set this to be the active key. Refer to section 4.7.3: Product Options on page 87. 3. Choose the same AES encryption setting on all communicating RDL-3000 systems.
5. Login to the RDL-3000 and verify the files have been successfully loaded. Example Use TFTP server at IP address 192.168.25.10 to load an SSH key file for the RDL-3000 with MAC address 00 09 02 01 C1 9A. 192.168.25.2# load file 192.168.25.10 dsa_key_00-09-02-01-C1-9A.pem usr tftp 192.168.25.2# show files usr...
The security certificate presented was issued for a different website address.) e operator has full access to the secure Web interface. It is recommended that system operators generate a unique certificate and private-public keys, and load these on the RDL-3000 before using the HTTPS feature in a production environment. 7.5.2 Enabling HTTPS/SSL HTTPS is disabled by (factory) default.

8.2.1 Packet Classification at the Sector Controller The RDL-3000 PMP deployment can be configured for use with VLAN tagged traffic, untagged traffic, or a combination these two types. Ingress packets received on the sector controller Ethernet port are classified according to the criteria in the following table.
RDL-3000 User Manual Table 19: Spec. - Classification: Packet Received on SC Wireless Interface Service Group type: Tagged Known unicast address Priority: Use priority received with packet --- AND --- Tag: Add VLAN tag (outermost) for this Service (Q in Q).
8.2.2 Packet Classification at the Subscriber The RDL-3000 PMP deployment can be configured for use with VLAN tagged traffic, untagged traffic, or a combination these two types. Ingress packets received on the subscriber Ethernet port are classified according to the criteria in the following table.
VLAN Identifier (VID): 12-bit field specifying the VLAN. The VLAN value may be 1 to 4094. Value 0 indicates the 802.1Q tag is specifying only a priority. ID Mapping The following table lists the ID ranges assigned for each provisioning type. Table 23: RDL-3000 ID Ranges Description ID Range Total...
A regional code is integrated into each options key. This feature restricts system operation to the frequencies allowed by regional regulatory statutes. Options keys are unique to a specific RDL-3000 (keyed to MAC address). Available frequencies are limited to the radio type (e.g., 5.4 GHz).

This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in the following table, operating with the maximum specified gain settings. Table 25: Spec. - FCC & IC Antennas: 4.94 - 4.99 GHz PTP Operation Redline Order # Application Gain Type Max.
Link IDs The ID assignments for Links, Service Groups, and Services are restricted to specific ranges. The values are assigned automatically by the RDL-3000 when using the Web interface or CLI to create new entries. If replacing an in-service AN-80i sector controller with an RDL-3000, it is recommended to save the current AN-80i configuration using the CLI 'script' command, and then load this configuration into the RDL-3000 replacement unit.

Questions and answers
rdl for routin g distrioution layer and how if i how if i want it to by pass the vlan with missing it
The Redline RDL-3000 can be configured to bypass the VLAN by using "Pass through" mode. In this mode:
- Traffic that is untagged or does not match any VLAN ID is forwarded without modification.
- Only one Service Group and one Service per subscriber can be set to "Pass through" mode.
- It allows transparent forwarding of unclassified traffic between ports.
- It can also be used to add or remove the outermost VLAN tag (Q-in-Q), depending on traffic direction.
This configuration is recommended during initial installation and setup to ensure management traffic is not disrupted by VLAN services.
