To create VLAN click on Add VLAN.
The new VLAN line appears. Each VLAN can have its Subnets. Network overlapping among subnets
is possible. When overlapping, the subnet with the narrowest mask takes effect for respective IP.
○
Interface.VLAN ID
Behind decimal point in ETH0. fill in VLAN ID. Values 1 - 4094 are possible.
The first line (Main Ethernet interface) can be also defined as the VLAN. Tick the box and the
unit can be “VLAN only”.
○
Priority
List box: possible values
Default = 0 Fixed priority can be assigned to a VLAN frame which is created in outgoing RipEX.
Note: Priority Code Point (PCP): a 3-bit field which refers to the IEEE 802.1p priority. It indicates
the frame priority level. Values are from 0 (best effort) to 7 (highest); 1 represents the lowest
priority. These values can be used to prioritize different classes of traffic (voice, video, data,
etc.).
○
Unit Manag.
Tick when RipEX management shall be possible using this VLAN. Make sure Unit Management
is On for one VLAN at least (typically the Eth0). Remember you could lose the connection to
your RipEX.
○
ARP proxy
Available only when Operating mode is set to Router.
When ticked, the respective interface generates ARP responses for all IP addresses which are
routed to the Radio interface according to the Routing table (in this specific RipEX unit).
Be very careful when using this feature, ARP proxy can disable all traffic in the LAN !!!
Note 1: When two RipEX units are connected via their Ethernet ports in the same LAN, their IP
networks defined on Radio interface must not overlap (both units would reply to the same ARP
request).
Note 2: It is highly recommended to activate ARP proxy as the last change when all the other
settings are done.
Note 3: Check your routing rules twice – routing within a single LAN requires carefull IP address
planning to fit as narrow subnet masks as possible for the individual routes.

Note
You may add a note to each line up to 16 characters long for your convenience. (E.g. “Remote
unit #1 etc.). Following characters are not allowed:
" (Double quote)
` (Grave accent)
\ (Backslash)
$ (Dollar symbol)
; (Semicolon)
○
Active
You may tick/untick each line in order to make it active/not active. VLAN is active when at least
one of its subnets is active (even the first line can be inactive).
