9.10.2.1 Operation
Outgoing packets (from the gateway to the switch):
All outgoing packets are tagged, each according to its interface (control, media or
OAM). If the gateway’s native ID is identical to one of the other IDs (usually to the
OAM ID), this ID (e.g., OAM) is set to zero on outgoing packets
(VlanSendNonTaggedOnNative = 0). This method is called Priority Tagging (p tag
without Q tag). If the parameter VlanSendNonTaggedOnNative is set to 1, the
gateway sends regular packets (with no VLAN tag).
Incoming packets (from the switch to the gateway):
The switch sends all packets intended for the gateway (according to the switch’s
configuration) to the gateway without altering them. For packets whose VLAN ID is
identical to the switch’s PVID. In this case, the switch removes the tag and sends a
packet.
The gateway only accepts packets that have a VLAN ID identical to one of its interfaces
(control, media or OAM). Packets with a VLAN ID that is 0 or packets without a tag are
accepted only if the gateway’s native VLAN ID is identical to the VLAN ID of one of its
interfaces. In this case, the packets are sent to the relevant interface. All other packets are
rejected.
9.10.3 Getting Started with VLANS and Multiple IPs
By default the Mediant 1000 operates without VLANs and multiple IPs, using a single IP
address, subnet mask and default gateway IP address. This section provides an example
of the configuration required to integrate the Mediant 1000 into a VLAN and multiple IPs
network using the Embedded Web Server (refer to Section 9.10.3.1) and ini file (refer to
Section 9.10.3.2 on page 291). Table 9-2 below shows an example configuration that is
implemented in the following sections.

Note that since a default gateway is available only for the Media network, for the Mediant
1000 to be able to communicate with an external device / network on its OAM and Control
networks, IP routing rules must be used.
Note: The values provided in Sections 9.10.3.1 and 9.10.3.2 are sample
parameter values only and are to be replaced with actual values
appropriate to your system.
