Mode Three-Transparency 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, it
is possible to 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:

b. Enter Y in the Transparent Mode field and press any key (except S or Q) to

open the Transparent Mode Setup screen.

c. Enter Y at Is a VLAN tag required on Management packets? The screen

displays the management tag fields:

Is a VLAN tag required on Management packets? [ Y ]
The Management Tag is [0 ]
Management Priority is [0 ]

d. Enter the management tag (VLAN ID) and the priority (optional).

Is a VLAN tag required on Management packets? [ Y ]
The Management Tag is [7 ]
Management Priority is [0 ]

TRANSPARENT MODE SETUP
Is a VLAN tag required on Management packets? [ Y ]

Do you want to enter the Extra Tag mode? Enter Y for Extra Tagging.
Enter N if you do not want Extra Tags [ N ]

Type S or F3 to save the new information
Type Q of F4 to quit and cancel changes

Reboot is required for any change to take affect.

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

In Transparent Mode with BOTH Optics and Data Mgmt dipswitches set to off,
all traffic passes between the Optics and Data Ports.

Default Mode – the unit passes only Untagged Packets.
