Transparent with Tagged Management

Transparent with Tagged Management mode passes both tagged and untagged traffic
between the DATA port and the OPTICS (or UPLINK) port. By using a VLAN Tag you
can isolate and route the management path in the module. This method can be used
with or without continuing the management path down the EXT MGMT port.

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) 3 = ON and EXT MGMT 1 = ON).

2. Set Transparent Mode to allow both tagged and untagged 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 DIP switches
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,
