Frequently Asked Questions

What is VLAN tagging used for?

VLAN tagging attaches a 4-byte tag to packet headers, indicating which VLAN the packet belongs to, facilitating traffic movement between different VLAN groups.

How many individual VLAN IDs can the device support?

The device supports the mapping of 4094 VLAN IDs down to 64 defined VLANs.

What function do LAGs (Link Aggregated Groups) perform?

LAGs enable fault tolerance, higher bandwidth connections, and improved bandwidth granularity by grouping multiple physical ports.

How is traffic priority managed using DSCP values?

Incoming IP packets with a specific DSCP value are mapped to one of four priority queues, allowing the network to service different levels of desired service.
