Switch Modes
1. Single (Smart) Pipe (default mode, does not require license)
Only single GbE interface is supported (Optical GbE-SFP or Electrical GbE 10/100/1000).
Any traffic coming from any GbE interface will be sent directly to the radio and
vice versa.
This application allows QoS configuration.
Other FE (10/100) interfaces can be configured to be "functional" interfaces
(WSC, Protection, Management), otherwise they are shut down.
Single pipe does not forward PAUSE PDU (01-80-C2-00-00-01) and Slow
protocols PDU (01-80-C2-00-00-02).

2. Managed Mode (license depended)
This application is 802.1Q VLAN aware bridge, allowing L2 switching based
on VLANs. This application also allows QoS configuration.
All Ethernet ports are allowed for traffic. Each traffic port can be configured to
be "access" port or "trunk" port:

Type

VLANs

Allowed Ingress Frames

Allowed Egress
Frames

Acces
s

Specific VLAN should be

assigned to access the
port

Only Untagged frames

(or Tagged with VID=0
"Priority Tagged )

Untagged
frames

Trunk

A range of VLANs should

be assigned to access the
Port

Only Tagged frames

Proprietary and Confidential

Tagged frames

3.

Metro Mode (license depended)

This application is 802.1Q VLAN aware bridge, allowing Q-in-Q (A.K.A. VLAN
Stacking). This mode allows the configuration of a PE port and CE port.
Allowed Ingress
Frames

Type

VLANs

CustomerNetwork

Specific S-VLAN should be Untagged frames, or

assigned to "Customerframes with C-tag
Network" port
(ether-type=0x8100).

ProviderNetwork

A range of S-VLANs, or
"all" S-VLANs should be
assigned to "ProviderNetwork" port

Configurable S-tag.

Guidelines
Changing switch modes requires a reset
Resets do not change the IP-10G settings (radio,
configuration, etc.)
VLANs need to be created in the switch DB before assigned
to a port

Configuration Single Pipe

Only one ingress port

can be used:
Port 1 (Opt. or Elec.)
Port 3 (RJ45)
When one is enabled
the other is disabled

Lets use this diagram as an example Port #2 as Trunk
(VID 200)

IDU-B
IDU-A

Port #3 as
Trunk (VID
300)

Radios as
Trunk by
default

Proprietary and Confidential

Port #2 as
Trunk (VID 200,
VID 300)

Configuration Managed Mode

Make sure both IDUs are aware of
the required VIDs
You need to create the VIDs before
you assign them to a certain port
(Set # & Apply)

Configuration Managed Mode

Next steps:
1.Go to Interfaces page
2.Enable the required port (Ingress ports)
3.Configure the port type as Trunk or Access
4.Assign allowed VLAN IDs (port membership)
5.Radio port is automatically configured as Trunk, all VLANs are allowed
by default
