Motorola Series Switch WS5100 - Manual (Page 27)

Overview 1-17
• When packets are received on the GRE tunnel interface by the switch, the switch decapsulates the GRE
header and forwards the IP packet to the MU based on the destination IP address. The MAC address of
the MU is obtained from the MU table.
1.2.3.4 VLAN Enhancements
The switch has incorporated the following VLAN enhancements:
• Physical port (L2) is now operated in Trunk Mode or Access Mode.
• A VLAN now allows an AP to receive and send only untagged packets. All tagged packets received by the
AP are discarded. The untagged traffic received is internally placed in an “access vlan”.
• A trunk port can now receive, both tagged and untagged packets. Only one native VLAN per trunk port is
supported. All untagged traffic received on is placed into a “native vlan”.
• You can now configure a set of allowed VLANS on a trunk port. Packets received on this port that belong
to other VLANs are discarded.
1.2.3.5 Interface Management
The switch permits a physical interface to Auto Negotiate, Full Duplex or Half Duplex. The switch also
allows:
• Manual bandwidth configuration of a physical interface to 10/100/1000Mbps. This is only permitted if
duplex is not set to Auto-Negotiate.
• Manual configuration of administrative shutdown of a physical interface.
1.2.3.6 Multiple WLAN Support
A WS5100 switch supports 32 WLANS.
