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:
