Transparent with Untagged Management

Transparent with Untagged Management mode passes tagged traffic between the
DATA port and the OPTICS (or UPLINK) port and allows untagged traffic to be
considered management domain traffic (untagged).

To configure this mode, do the following:

1. Set the management DIP switch ON for the ports using management (in this

example it is the OPTICS (or UPLINK) port: 3 = ON). To enable External
Management (EXT MGMT), set DIP Switch 1 to ON. (otherwise, leave DIP Switch
1 in the OFF position (default from factory) to disable EXT MGMT)

2. Set Transparent Mode to allow both tagged data and untagged management

traffic to pass:

a. In the Main Configuration screen, press the space bar and type config. The

Configuration Screen displays:

Transparent Mode – with either (not both) Data and Optics Mgmt dipswitches
set to on, all traffic passes between Optics and Data port EXCEPT what has
been defined as the Management Domain. The Management Domain can either be

efined as untagged traffic or traffic with a specified VLAN ID.

In Transparent Mode with BOTH Optics and Data Mgmt dipswitches set to off,

ll traffic passes between the Optics and Data Ports.
