Objectives

Upon completion of this module students will know the following:

Understand and use services features for networking Create and configure services that support advanced VLAN topology

BreezMax tagging

The BreezeMAX provides high flexibility regarding VLANs Packets can be tagged and untagged within the system

Untagging/Tagging by BS

Untagging/Tagging by SU switch

Service Profile parameters VPL ID

Available values 0 to 4094 or null (empty string) for No VPL ID A value of 4095 is displayed for No VPL ID Service profiles can share the same VPL number but:

Service Profile parameters VLAN Transparency Mode

Used for VLAN consistency VLAN Transparency Mode values (ON/OFF)

LA

Enabled (ON)

The VLAN ID on both sides of the BS

( wireless , backbone) is the same

Transparency mode ON
VLAN ID 101

Switch

The VPL ID parameter is not

applicable

Forwarding rule is set automatically

as @@Transparent@@

VLAN ID 101

Only one service on each SU (If there

are several services within the same SU) can be set with VLAN Transparency Mode = ON Note: When using VLAN transparency mode ON, verify that the VLAN tags in the list of the transparent service are different than any VPL ID of other services.

Service Profile parameters VLAN Transparency Mode

Disabled (OFF)

The VPL ID Must be assigned to

the service (none is also a valid value)

LA

Transparency mode OFF

Access VLAN

It is also mandatory to set Transparent Mode to ON

Enables to set that the SU tags any untagged frames arrives from the Ethernet port and vice versa
When Access VLAN is set with a VLAN ID, the feature is set to ON Ethernet side Backbone side

VLAN Classification Mode

14

In case R1 doesn't support any priority marking

Services defined with transparent mode set ON Each service contains ONLY one VLAN ID

VLAN Classification is set to ON

In the downlink direction the BS classifies the service by the VLAN ID instead of the priority tag For using more than one VLANS with one MAC address
