The User Interface

This chapter documents User Interface (

UI

) commands to configure encapsulation options.

For documentation on Command Line Interface (

CLI

) commands to configure encapsulation

options, see the Text-Based Configuration CLI Reference Guide.

Important Note

In Release 4.4 and later, the Omni Switch/Router is
factory-configured to boot up in

CLI

(Command Line

Interface) mode, rather than in

UI

(User Interface)

mode. See Chapter 4, “The User Interface,” for docu-
mentation on changing from

CLI

mode to

UI

mode.

Simple encapsulation options can be configured through the

modvp, addvp, crgp

commands.

More advanced encapsulation options can be found in the commands under the

Switch

menu.

Essentially, the forwarding code is now capable of applying the transformation function per
protocol per encapsulation per port for flooded/mcast traffic and per protocol per encapsula-
tion per destination MAC address for forwarded unicast traffic. The old interface provides a
small subset of these possible port translation options.
