CAUTION
The user must ensure that only the compatible port types are residing on
the same D-PVLAN. Otherwise, traffic misrouting may occur!
Port Type Application Examples
Below are some application examples for various port type options. To simplify
the figures, all ETHER-1000 units whose one or more TDM pipes are
interconnected through common SONET bandwidth are shown as a single
ETHER-1000 switch with geographically distributed ports. The Port Type setting
is denoted for each port.
P-Access Ports
P-Access (PA) is the default port type. Each PA port has only one D-PVLAN
assignment and no QVLAN filtering capabilities. These ports can
exchange
traffic only with remote PA and PT ports (with matching D-PVLAN memberships).
Application examples for PA ports are shown in Figures 12 to 14.
