Operation
VLAN Pass-through is enabled by default in the modem. No VLAN
configuration is needed and modem will happily pass any VLAN
tagged frames.
To initiate VLAN Bridge or Router operation, VLAN Aware mode
must be enabled on the VLAN page.
When VLAN is enabled a default “Management VLAN Group” is
created bridging the Ethernet and Wireless interfaces and
configuring both with untagged frames. The “Management IP” and
“Management Netmask” addresses will override the modules “IP
Address” and “Subnet Mask” and the Device Mode will be changed
to “VLAN Bridge”; these changed will be indicated on the Network
page of the module. A Management VLAN is created to ensure that
the module will be accessible for configuration and diagnostics after
setup.
If more than one interface is added to a VLAN group, a separate bridge will be created for the VLAN Group. The
configured interfaces for the VLAN Group will then be configured as ports on the bridge.
You will see in the screenshot below that the Management VLAN has two interfaces configured, Ethernet and Wireless
and both are set to “Untagged”, this means the module can be accessed by either Ethernet or Wireless networks using
untagged frames.

Leaving the default Management VLAN is advised as it will ensure the module is accessible through any
interface.
VLAN Group
Enabling VLAN on the module will require one or more configurable VLAN Groups. A maximum of up to 10 VLAN Groups
can be supported. Each VLAN Group will contain the following configurable parameters and associated functionality.
Name A textual description of the VLAN Group, consisting of a maximum of 32 ASCII
characters. This parameter is descriptive only and serves no functional purpose.
