• prfX settings – Pseudo-RF interface settings (e.g. prf0):
MINT network nodes can connect via either the wireless medium or a
wired network. In order to establish connections via Ethernet PRF
(Pseudo-RF) interfaces are used. A PRF interface makes the Ethernet
interface that it's assigned to to appear as a regular RF interface in
terms of the MINT network. For more information please refer to the
WANFleX OS User Manual.
o General settings are the same as the Ethernet interface settings
described above.
o Parent settings allow user to assign the PRF interface to the
physical Ethernet interface.
o Channel setting can be used to set up several channel groups (0 –
4) inside the MINT network. Both PRF interfaces must have the
same channel assigned in order for the link to be established.
• lagX settings – Link Aggregation interface settings (e.g. lag0):
o Link aggregation interface is a logical interface used to combine
multiple physical channels into one logical channel in order to
increase link capacity and redundancy.
o General settings are the same as the Ethernet interface settings
described above.
o Add parent(s) functionallows user to add physical interfaces to the
aggregated channel.
• vlanX settings – VLAN IEEE 802.1q settings (e.g. vlan0):
o General settings are the same as the Ethernet interface settings
described above.
o Parent settings allow user to assign the VLAN interface to its
parent interface.
o VLAN ID field allows user to configure the VLAN tag for the current
interface (1 – 4094)
o QinQ checkbox enables dot1q tunneling on the interface.
• sviX settings – Switch Virtual Interface settings:
An SVI interface is an L3-interface used to terminate or generate traffic
in a certain switch group. Refer to the WANFleX OS manual for details.
o General settings are the same as the Ethernet interface settings
described above.
o Switch group option allows user to bind the SVI interface to a
switch group.
Default Gateway field is used to configure the default gateway used by
the unit L3-interfaces to reach hosts on subnets different from its own.
Create Pseudo-RF, Create VLAN, Create LAG and Create SVI buttons
create the corresponding interfaces in the unit configuration.
