VLAN unaware mode
The
VLAN unaware mode
defines the operation of the device in a LAN segmented by VLANs. The
device accepts packets and processes them according to its inbound rules. Based on the IEEE
802.1Q specifications, the function governs how the device processes VLAN tagged packets.
Use the VLAN aware mode to apply the user-defined VLAN topology configured by the network
administrator. When the device forwards packets, it uses VLAN tagging in combination with the IP
or Ethernet address. The device processes inbound and outbound packets according to the defined
rules. VLAN configuration is a manual process.
Use the VLAN unaware mode to forward traffic as received, without any modification. When the
device receives packets as tagged, it transmits tagged packets. When the device receives packets
as untagged. it transmits untagged packets. Regardless of VLAN assignment mechanisms, the
device assigns packets to VLAN ID 1 and to a Multicast group, indicating that the packet flood
domain is according to the VLAN.
