Note or print the IP settings from this page. Ensure that you can readily associate these IP settings both with the module and with the other data that you store about the module.
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces NAT DNS Considerations - SM SM DNS behavior is different depending on the accessibility of the SM. When NAT is enabled the DNS configuration that is discussed in this document is tied to the RF Remote Configuration Interface, which must be enabled to utilize DNS Client functionality. Note that the WAN DNS settings when NAT is enabled are unchanged with the addition of the management DNS feature discussed in this document.
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces DHCP – BHS Applicable products PTP: BHM DHCP enables a device to be assigned a new IP address and TCP/IP parameters, including a default gateway, whenever the device reboots. Thus DHCP reduces configuration time, conserves IP addresses, and allows modules to be moved to a different network within the Cambium system.
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN ID Remarking SM supports the ability to re-mark the VLAN ID on both upstream and downstream VLAN frames at the Ethernet interface. For instance, a configuration can be added to re-mark VLAN ID ‘x’ to VLAN ID ‘y’ as shown in Table 103. AP does not support VLAN ID remarking.
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Promote IPv4/IPv6 priority – The priority in the IP header is copied to the Q-tag/C-tag. Define priority – Specify the priority in the range of 0 to 7. This value is used as priority in the Q-tag/C-tag. MAC Address Mapped VID If a packet arrives at the SM/BHS that is sourced from a device whose MAC address is in the table, then the corresponding VID is used for that frame’s Q-tag (Q port) or C-tag (QinQ port).
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN page of AP The VLAN tab of the AP/BHM is explained in Table 104. Table 104 AP/BHM VLAN tab attributes Attribute Meaning VLAN Specify whether VLAN functionality for the AP and all linked SMs must (Enabled) or may not (Disabled) be allowed. The default value is Disabled. Always use Local VLAN Config Enable this option before you reboot this AP as a SM to use it to perform spectrum analysis.
Chapter 7: Configuration VLAN Aging Timeout Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Specify how long the AP must keep dynamically learned VIDs. The range of values is 5 to 1440 (minutes). The default value is 25 (minutes). Note VIDs that you enter for the Management VID and VLAN Membership parameters do not time out. Management VID Enter the VID that the operator wishes to use to communicate with the module manager. The range of values is 1 to 4095. The default value is 1.
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN Not Active When VLAN is enabled in the AP, the Active Configuration block provides the following details as read-only information in this tab. In the Cambium fixed wireless broadband IP network, each device of any type is automatically a permanent member of VID 1. This facilitates deployment of devices that have VLAN enabled with those that do not.
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN page of SM The VLAN tab of SM/BHS is explained in Table 106. Table 106 SM VLAN attributes Attribute Meaning VLAN Port Type By default this is Q, indicating that it is to operate in the existing manner. The other option is Q-in-Q, which indicates that it must be adding and removing the S-Tag, and adding a C-Tag if necessary for untagged packets. The VLAN Port type corresponds to the Ethernet port of the SM/BHS.
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Accept QinQ Frames This option is valid for the Q-in-Q port so that the user may force blocking of existing 802.1ad Q-in-Q frames. This way, only untagged or single tagged packets will come in and out of the Ethernet interface. If a Q-in-Q frame is about ingress or egress the Ethernet interface and this is disabled, it is dropped and a filter entry will show up on the VLAN Statistics page as DVLAN Egress or DVLAN Ingress.
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Port VID MAC Address Mapping These parameters allow operators to place specific devices onto different VLANs (802.1Q tag or 802.1ad C-tag) based on the source MAC address of the packet. If the MAC address entry is 00-00-00-00-0000 then that entry is not used. If a packet arrives at the SM that is sourced from a device whose MAC address is in the table, then the corresponding VID is used for that frame’s Q-tag (Q port) or C-tag (Qin-Q port).
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Active Configuration, Allow Frame Type This displays the selection that was made from the drop-down list at the Allow Frame Types parameter above. Active Configuration, QinQ This is set to Enabled if VLAN Port Type is set to QinQ, and is set to Disabled if VLAN Port Type is set to Q. Active Configuration, QinQ EthType This is the value of the QinQ EtherType configured in the AP.

Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Attribute Meaning VLAN Specify whether VLAN functionality for the BHM and all linked BHS must be (Enabled) or may not (Disabled) be allowed. The default value is Disabled. VLAN Port Type By default this is Q, indicating that it is to operate in the existing manner. The other option is Q-in-Q, which indicates that it must be adding and removing the S-Tag, and adding a C-Tag if necessary for untagged packets.
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces The C-VLAN is the inner VLAN tag, which is the same as 802.1Q. As a top level concept, this operates on the outermost tag at any given time, either “pushing” a tag on or “popping” a tag off. This means packets will at most transition from an 802.1Q frame to an 801.ad frame (with a tag “pushed” on) or an untagged 802.1 frame (with the tag “popped” off. Similarly, for an 802.1ad frame, this can only transition from an 802.1ad frame to an 802.
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces VLAN page of BHS The VLAN tab of BHS is explained in Table 109. Table 109 BHS VLAN page attributes Attribute Meaning VLAN Specify whether VLAN functionality for the BHM and all linked BHS must be (Enabled) or may not (Disabled) be allowed.

Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Use User Defined MTU allows the operator to specify an MTU value to use to override any MTU that may be determined in the LCP phase of PPPoE session setup. If this is selected, the user is able to enter an MTU value up to 1492. However, if the MTU determined in LCP negotiations is less than this user-specified value, the SM will use the smaller value as its MTU for the PPPoE link. Timer Type Keep Alive is the default timer type.
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces IP4 and IPv6 Applicable products PMP : AP SM PTP: BHM BMS IPv4 and IPv6 Prioritization 450 Platform Family provides operators the ability to prioritize IPv6 traffic in addition to IPv4 traffic. IPv6/IPv4 prioritization can be configured by selecting a CodePoint and the corresponding priority from the GUI of the AP/BHM and the IPv6/IPv4 packet is set up accordingly. There is no GUI option for selecting IPv6 or IPv4 priority.
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Operator cannot change any of these three fixed priority values. Among the settable parameters, the priority values (and therefore the handling of packets in the high or low priority channel) are set in the AP/BHM for all downlinks within the sector and in the SM/BHS for each uplink.
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Table 112 Packet Filter Configuration attributes Attribute Meaning Packet Filter Types For any box selected, the Protocol and Port Filtering feature blocks the associated protocol type. To filter packets in any of the user-defined ports, you must do all of the following: Check the box for User Defined Port n (See Below) in the Packet Filter Types section of this tab. Provide a port number at Port #n.
Chapter 7: Configuration Configuring IP and Ethernet interfaces Enable TCP and/or UDP by clicking the associated radio button Filter Direction Operators may choose to filter upstream (uplink) RF packets or downstream (downlink) RF packets. User Defined Port Filtering Configuration You can specify ports for which to block subscriber access, regardless of whether NAT is enabled.
Chapter 7: Configuration Upgrading the software version and using CNUT Upgrading the software version and using CNUT This section consists of the following procedures: Checking the installed software version on page 7-66 Upgrading to a new software version on page 7-66 Caution If the link is operational, ensure that the remote end of the link is upgraded first using the wireless connection, and then the local end can be upgraded. Otherwise, the remote end may not be accessible. Use CNUT 4.10.

By default, the PoE Classification feature is disabled and the PAs will power up regardless of the classification presented by the power source. This is supported only on 450i series devices.
Chapter 7: Configuration Bridge Entry Timeout General configuration Specify the appropriate bridge timeout for correct network operation with the existing network infrastructure. The Bridge Entry Timeout must be a longer period than the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) cache timeout of the router that feeds the network. Caution An inappropriately low Bridge Entry Timeout setting may lead to temporary loss of communication with some end users.
Chapter 7: Configuration SM Isolation General configuration Prevent or allow SM-to-SM communication by selecting from the following drop-down menu items: Disable SM Isolation (the default selection). This allows full communication between SMs. Block SM Packets from being forwarded. This prevents both multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication. Block and Forward SM Packets to Backbone.
