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:
