EX-i Series GigE (FDD) Digital Microwave Radios

Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)
VLAN segments information in a single connection and creates multiple separate connections to
secure information of one type or for one set of users from other information types or for other sets of
users. Exalt’s VLAN communications implementation adheres to the IEEE standard 802.1q.
In most cases, an Exalt radio acting as a Layer 2 bridge between two locations is only required to pass
traffic with VLAN tagging. Without additional configuration, all Exalt radios support frame sizes in
excess of 1900 bytes, which currently supports all defined VLAN packet sizes.
Some situations require Exalt radios to act upon VLAN traffic and perform any or all of the following
functions:
• Connect specific traffic, using VLAN tagging, to a specific port on the radio, such as management
traffic to the ETH2 port.
• Allow only traffic with specifically assigned VLANs to pass across the link, blocking all other
VLANs or any non-VLAN traffic.
• Allow management access only through a VLAN connection, leaving the main traffic transparent.
• Allow management access without a VLAN connection, but flowing only specific VLAN traffic
across the link.

Note: In many cases, the system design will not be identical to the factory default
configuration, and in some cases, these differences prohibit the installation of the radio. If at
all possible, obtain a computer and configure the radio terminals using the browser-based
GUI. See
Exalt Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Note: If an application only requires the transparent passing of VLAN traffic, disable the
VLAN function.
