Virtual LANs (VLANs)
10.3 Configuration of VLANs
VLAN technology functions are presently only supported by LANCOM
Wireless devices.
The configuration of LANCOM Wireless devices within the VLAN realm has to
perform two important tasks:
̈ Defining virtual LANs and assigning them a name, a VLAN ID and the
affected interfaces.
̈ Defining for the interfaces how to proceed with data packets with or with-
out VLAN tags.
10.3.1 The network table
In the network table are those virtual LANs defined, in which the LANCOM
should participate. The table contains 32 entries at maximum with the follow-
ing information:
̈ Name: The VLAN name serves only as a description during configuration.
This name is used at no other place.
̈ VLAN ID: This number marks the VLAN unambiguously. Possible values
range from 1 to 4094.
̈ Port list: All LANCOM interfaces belonging to the VLAN are entered into
this list. As ports can be entered:
୴ “LAN-n” for all Ethernet ports of the device.
୴ “WLAN-n” for point-to-station WLAN ports.
୴ “P2P-n” for point-to-point WLAN ports.
Given a device with a LAN interface and a WLAN port, e.g. ports “LAN-1”
and “WLAN-1” can be entered. In case of port ranges, the individual ports
must be separated by a tilde: “P2P-1~P2P-4”.
The available ports can be found in the port table (→page 199).
