Setup > PVC/VLAN Mapping

This advanced screen is used to map the PVCs to the Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs).

When you create a mapping, a layer 2 bridge is formed between the Router’s LAN port

(including WLAN SSID) and WAN port (PVC or Ethernet WAN).

You should configure this screen according to your service provider’s instructions. For

example, when Ethernet port 1 is connected to a set-top box, a PVC mapping is created for

Ethernet port 1 and PVC 1 with VLAN 1002. Traffic is marked with the configured VLAN ID

when it travels to the service provider’s network.

PVC VLAN Mapping

Select PVC Connection Select the PVC you want to map.

VLAN Bridge Table

For each entry, the table lists the following: LAN Ports, VLAN ID, 802.1p, MAC Address,

Ethernet Frame, Enable status, and Action. To delete an existing PVC/VLAN mapping, click

Delete.

VLAN Bridge Entry

Enabled Select Enabled to enable the mapping rule.

VLAN ID Enter the VLAN you want to map. The default is 2.

MAC Address Enter the packet’s source MAC address, if applicable as a filter condition.

802.1p Enter the priority level for each port. These are the mappings to 802.1p:

• 6 High (highest, EF)

• 5 Medium (CS)

• 4 Normal (CS)

• 0 Low (best effort)

• -1 No Change (no change to the original 802.1p value)

Cisco recommends the following:

• For voice and video traffic, enter 6.

• For gaming or mission-critical traffic, enter 5.

• For normal traffic, enter 4.

• For low-priority traffic, enter 0.

LAN Ports Every LAN interface is listed, including the Ethernet ports and Wireless Local Area

Network (WLAN) ports. (The WLAN ports are listed with their wireless network names, also

known as SSIDs.) Select the appropriate LAN interface. For multiple selection, press the Ctrl or

Shift key. To deselect, use Ctrl + click (click the selection).

Ethernet Frame The Ethernet frame types are listed. Select the packet’s Ethernet frame type,

if applicable as a filter condition. For multiple selection, press the Ctrl or Shift key. To deselect,

use Ctrl + click (click the selection).

Click Add VLAN Bridge to create a new PVC/VLAN mapping, or click Cancel Changes to

cancel your changes.
