Chapter 75: VLAN service management

Overview

Purpose

VLANs are created to provide the segmentation services traditionally provided by routers in LAN configurations. VLANs address issues such as scalability, security, and network management. Routers in VLAN topologies provide broadcast filtering, security, address summarization, and traffic flow management. The following table lists the types of VLAN services that are supported on the NFM-P by device type:

Table 75-1: Device VLAN support

Device

Supported VLAN types

7450 ESS

  • Standard VLAN

  • L2 VPN (TLS/VLAN-Stacking) VLAN

  • Broadcast TV (MVR/IPMV) VLAN

All OmniSwitches

  • Standard VLAN

  • L2 VPN (TLS/VLAN-Stacking) VLAN

All OmniSwitches except for the OS 6900 and OS 10K

  • Broadcast TV (MVR/IPMV) VLAN

OS 6900 and OS 10K

  • IPC VLAN

  • VIP VLAN

Wavence SM 1

  • Wavence (dot1ad) VLAN

  • Wavence P2P (dot1q) VLAN

  • Wavence P2MP (dot1q) VLAN

Notes:

  1. See “Wavence microwave backhaul service management” in the NSP NFM-P Microwave Radio User Guide for more information.

Several 7450 ESS, Wavence and OmniSwitch VLAN services can be interconnected through a backbone VPLS.

The NFM-P supports end-to-end VLAN configuration using tabbed configuration forms with an embedded navigation tree.
