The purpose of this network is to provide an easy way of modifying logical groups in the dynamicenvironment. VLAN is supported only in Bridge mode.VLANs are used to conveniently, efficiently, and easily manage your network in the following ways:• Define groups• Reduce broadcast and multicast traffic to unnecessary destinations– Improve network performance and reduce latency• Increase security– Secure network restricts members to resources on their own VLANVLAN features can be managed via:• The End Point’s Web interface• The Command Line Interface (see “Command Line Interface” section in the Reference Manual)• SNMP (Log on to Proxim support site http://support.proxim.com for MIBs)NOTE: The VLAN parameters can be configured on selected Interface (Ethernet 1/Ethernet 2).4.7.1 Establishing a VLAN ConnectionFor enabling the VLAN support, certain network settings should be configured and certain network resources, such as VLANaware switches should be available, depending upon the type of configuration.VLAN support also provides the capability to specify a separate VLAN ID and priority for management frames (SNMP, ICMP,Telnet, DHCP, and TFTP).To configure VLAN,Click ADVANCED CONFIGURATION > VLAN.Figure 4-45 Configuring VLANTsunami QB-8100 Series (50 Mbps / 12 Mbps) Installation and Management Guide 83
