Application Examples - IMC Networks iMcV-FiberLinX-II Operation Manual

• How will the iMcV-FiberLinX-II units be managed?
• Will VLAN IDs be defined?
How many iMcV-FiberLinX-II units will be used?
• Two for Host/Remote applications–allows IP-less management providing greater
security
• One for a single unit application
How will the iMcV-FiberLinX-II be managed?
The iMcV-FiberLinX-II can be managed through any of its three ports (and any
combination thereof) or from the chassis. Using the EXT MGMT/OPTICS (or UPLINK)
port combination separates management traffic from the data and provides the
highest level of security. UMA management does not require an IP address.
Will VLAN IDs be defined?
When VLAN traffic is used with specific tags on any/all of the DATA ports, it is
necessary to disable Transparency and define VLAN IDs (refer to VLAN Configuration
section). When it is desirable to use VLAN tagged, untagged, or double-tagged traffic,
enable Transparency.

Application Examples

The following are application examples of the different VLAN configuration modes
available using the iMcV-FiberLinX-II. If assistance is required to configure an
application, contact IMC Networks Technical Support at
techsupport@imcnetworks.com.
The application modes include the following:
• Mode One – Default and Default Plus
• Mode Two – Transparency with Untagged Management
• Mode Three - Transparency with Tagged Management
• Mode Four - Transparency with Extra Tagging (Q-in-Q)
• Mode Five - Port VLAN
• Mode Six - PortVLAN Filter
When configuring VLAN IDs, remember to use any VLAN ID between 1 and 4,094. The VLAN
IDs used in the following applications are for example purposes ONLY.
Mode One-Default and Default Plus Mode
Default mode passes only untagged data between the DATA port and the OPTICS (or
UPLINK) port. This mode is the factory default and is provided as a starting point
