Management VLAN Mode determines whether or not VLAN tags will
be applied to Management frames. When the mode is set to Tagged
Mode, management frame s are expected to already have the
management VLAN ID attached to them. If management frames arrive
at the trunk port without a VLAN ID and the mode is Tagged Mode, then
those frames will be ignored. In Native Mode, management frames do
not need the VLAN tag. The frames will automatically be included in
the Native VLAN, which is the management VLAN.
The Default Route IF parameter determines which VLAN will be used
to route traffic that does not yet have an entry in the ARP table. This
parameter should be set to the VLAN that typically has the most routing
to be performed since this should help route traffic quickly through that
VLAN.
The following is an example configuration that has a VLAN enabled
network connected to the Base Station and a non-VLAN enabled
network connected to the Subscriber. This configuration would allow
VLAN enabled devices in the Base Station network to communicate
with non-VLAN devices in the Subscriber network.
