Chapter 3 - Configuration Figure 56 - Configuring per-VLAN 802.1p priorities Port state: allows you to specify if a VLAN should be allowed to pass by the port (“on” option), denied (“off”) or if the VLAN should be a native one for the specific port (“native” option). Only one native VLAN per port. Figure 57 – Different port state values 5.6.5.3. Configuring native VLAN A port that is set to the trunk operational mode allows only tagged traffic to pass.
Chapter 3 - Configuration You can customize the native VLAN configuration according to the specific requirements. For example, there can be ports that should allow only tagged traffic to pass and ports that allow both tagged and untagged traffic. Example - Port ge0 and ge1 should allow only VLANs 10 and 20 to pass. Additionally, port ge1 should also allow the untagged traffic.
Chapter 3 - Configuration 1. Go to the Network Access menu page in the Web interface. Add the management IP address and associate it with VLAN 100 Figure 60 - Adding a management IP address and associate it with VLAN 100 2. Click on the “Apply” button to save the changes NOTE The IP address just configured cannot be used at this moment for the management of the unit because VLAN 100 has not been added yet.
Chapter 3 - Configuration the ge0 and the rf ports. Untagged traffic or traffic tagged with other VLANs besides 100 or 200 is not allowed! 5.6.5.5. Trunk and Trunk VLAN example Installation which require VLAN tagged frames to flow in both directions through InfiLINK XG wireless link do not require any specific configuration. Just due to security reasons it is recommended to set up Management VLAN. All the rest configurartion is not needed in most cases, except the issue to deny certain VLANs.

Chapter 3 - Configuration 5.6.6. SNMP The SNMP protocol support is an important feature of all communication devices because it allows the system administrator to manage the operation of a network as a whole, as well as of each component. SNMP section contains a set of parameters to exchange data about network activity of the device.
Chapter 3 - Configuration and v.2c only) The default SNMP v.1 and v.2c community name is "public" It is a security method for SNMP v.1 and v.2c, as Agents can be set to reply only to queries received by accepted community names In SNMP v.1 and v.
Chapter 3 - Configuration Table 34 - SNMP Access 5.6.6.2. SNMP traps SNMP protocol operation requires a network agent instance to send asynchronous messages (traps) whenever a specific event occurs on the controlled device (object). InfiNet Wireless units have a built-in SNMP Traps support module (which acts as an agent) that performs a centralized information delivery from unit internal subsystems to the SNMP server. This zone focuses on SNMP Traps agent configuration.

Each server can have an individual set of traps directed toward it. Click the «Clear» button in order to clear all check-boxes for the current server.
Chapter 3 - Configuration QoS strategies were introduced for the InfiLINK XG units in order to be able to customize the balance between the maximum achievable capacity and the allowed packet loss for the priority packets. The QoS capabilities of the unit fall in two categories: QoS wired interface capabilities QoS radio interface capabilities 5.6.8.1. QoS wired interface capabilities The wired interface capabilities of InfiLINK XG unit are the following: Traffic selection and prioritization based on 802.
Chapter 3 - Configuration The packet scheduling algorithms available for determining how the packets shall exit the priority queues are the following: - Strict priority queuing: packets from lower priority queues are delayed in case higher priority queues has traffic - Weighted round robin: weights are used for every queue of an interface, which allows different queues to have different service shares depending on the weight value Per-port egress rate limiting Traffic shaping can be configured by limit
Chapter 3 - Configuration When the actual traffic load reached the egress rate, the switch will favor the transmission of the highest priority packets in the detriment of the lower priority ones.
Chapter 3 - Configuration - Normal: minimal priority packet loss allowed, with less than 10% capacity decrease In order to configure the appropriate QoS strategy, go to the “Radio” menu page in the Web interface and set the “QoS Strategy” parameter value: Figure 70 - Configuring the QoS strategy 5.6.9. Configuring assignment per-VLAN 802.1p priority The packets received on the wired interface can be marked with a specific 802.1p priority. Example - configuring 802.
Chapter 3 - Configuration 2. 3. The VLAN just added is by default disabled (“off”) on all the ports. The following options are available for the port configuration: - “on”: allows the VLAN to pass through that port - “off”: does not allow the VLAN to pass - “native”: allows the VLAN to pass, but allows also the untagged traffic to pass through that port. Assign an 802.1p priority. The packets received at the wired interfaces can be marked with an 802.1p priority.
