VLAN Configuration Page
VLAN is disabled as the default setting for Exalt radios. The Exalt radios still pass VLAN and non-
VLAN traffic across the link, but do not examine the VLAN traffic or act upon it. Enable VLAN using
the Exalt GUI for expanded VLAN support.
Figure 37 VLAN Configuration page
When VLAN is first enabled, all Ethernet interface ports (Aux and Main) are assigned as Default
VLAN, until the ports are configured with specific VLAN IDs. For example, a specific VLAN for
management access to the radio must be manually configured.
If any VLANs are configured in addition to the management VLAN, the radio automatically discards
traffic that not matching a configured VLAN. Non-tagged traffic, or traffic with tags matching VLANs
that are not configured, do not flow across the radio link.
Up to 16 unique VLANs can be configured. VLAN ID numbering ranges from 1 to 4094. The Native
(default) VLAN ID can be changed from the default setting. Every configured VLAN can also have a
logical name to help track the function of each VLAN.
VLAN configurations are maintained even when VLAN is disabled. That is, the VLANs can be
configured and the configuration saved, even though they are not active until VLAN is enabled. Use
Note: Once a management VLAN is configured or modified and the Update button clicked,
the management connection will likely be lost. The management connection to the radio must
follow the configuration to the assigned VLAN. After configuring and enabling the
management VLAN on the radio, reconfigure your network’s management access to match
the settings on the radio.
