Info
titleAdding VLANs.

1x VLAN for the Ravenna AES67 and 1x VLAN for regular networking.

VLAN1 : will be used for regular networking.
VLAN2 : will be used for Ravenna AES67.

By default the switch already has VLAN1 created with defaults for regular networking.
So we will be adding VLAN2 for the for the Ravenna AES67 networking.

First step is to change the IP configuration to use a APIPA (Automatic Private Internet Protocol Addressing) type of IP.
The administration page will then be only accessed trough this new IP.

Putting this in an APIPA IP range (169.254.0.0/16) will ensure that you can always access its administration page.
Ravenna devices generally use APIPA IP range to communicate over the network.

Once connected to the switch :

 

  1. In the Getting Started page, click on Create VLAN.

  2. Click on the Add button at the bottom of the VLAN Table.

  3. Set the VLAN ID: 2  and enter a VLAN NAME (can be anything you want, please do not use special characters).
    Make sure VLAN Interface Status and Link Status SNMP Traps are both active.
    Click on Apply once done.

    Image Added

  4. Go to VLAN Management >  PORT TO VLAN
    In the Filter section, set the VLAN ID to 2, and Interface Type to Port.
    Click on Go.
    Image Added

  5. Now you can see that all ports for VLAN 2 are excluded, you need to assign the required ports to this RAVENNA/AES67 VLAN.
    Set the required ports from Excluded to Untagged (in the picture below, ports 5 to 8 and port 10 are assigned to VLAN 2.
    Click on Apply once done.

    Image Added


  6. You may now check your VLAN1 config. 
    In the Filter section, set the VLAN ID to 1, and Interface Type to Port.
    Click on Go.
    You can see that the ports you have added to VLAN 2 are excluded from VLAN 1.

  7. In the Getting Started page, click on Change Device IP Adress

    Image Modified

  8. Click on the Add button at the bottom of the IPv4 Interface Table.

    Image Removed

    Make sure VLAN is set to 2 
    Set the IP Address type to Static IP Address.
    Enter 169.254.1.254 in the IP Address field.
    For the Mask setting, select Prefix Length and enter 16.

    Image Removed


    Image Added

    That will make your switch administration page respond to that IP address.
    Note that we used Prefix Lenght instead of Network mask (16 is the same as 255.255.0.0).
    But you could also set it to 255.255.0.0 it would also work.

  9. Click on Apply to save the changes.

  10. The switch will now change its IP address, therefore the 192.168.1.254 page you are actually using will stop responding.

  11. The switch is now only accessible on HTTP://169.254.1.254
    You will probably need to change to change your computer IP to "Obtain an IP address automatically"
    Enter 169.254.1.254 in your browser, and enter your credentials.
    In the Getting Started page, click on Create VLAN.

    Set the VLAN ID: 2  and enter a VLAN NAME (can be anything you want).
    Make sure VLAN Interface Status and Link Status SNMP Traps are both active.

Adding ports to the new VLAN2 we created in previous step.

Info
titleVLANs

First we will examine how distribute ports across VLANs in the switch (how we are going to split the ports between vlans)

VLAN2 will use : PORTS 9 to 16 and 18 and 20
VLAN1 will keep: PORTS 1 to 8 and 17 and 19
Image Removed

You can set this as you wish but by default this is how we will configure the VLAN2.

 

  1. Go to "VLAN Management" and click on "PORT TO VLAN" on the menu, it will open the port to vlan pane on the right.
    Image Removed
  2. Then select 2 in "VLAN ID equals to" and click on the "GO" button, it will open a new pane with VLAN2 config.
    Image Removed
  3. As you can see by default all the ports for this VLAN are marked as excluded.
    Image Removed
    We want to change that to choose which ports we are going to use...
    Check the following figure, representing what we want to do.
    Image Removed
    Now we are going to add the ports to our new vlan, for that change the Membership Type of the ports we want to add to VLAN2
    from "EXCLUDED" to "UNTAGGED" as show in the picture bellow and click on "APPLY" to validate our changes.
    Image Removed
    Then click on the "COPY/SAVE CONFIGURATION" link to go save this configuration.
    Image Removed
    Save the current configuration into your startup configuration so you don't lose any changes if the device is rebooted..
    Image Removed
  4. Click "DONE" to finish, you might want to reboot your switch.
    Image Removed
  5. After this is done if you check VLAN1 config you can see that all the ports from VLAN2 are now auto excluded from VLAN1.
    Image Removed
  6. That is it, you now have VLAN1 and VLAN2 and they're traffic is independent from each other and your config should be like this:
    Image Removed
  7. This explains how to change ip for VLAN2 so the admin page of the switch can also be reached from VLAN2

     

    Go to "Administration" then click "Management Interface" and then "IPV4 Interface", the following pane will open in the right.
    Image Removed
  8. In Management VLAN choose 2 and on IP Adress type in the IP Adress you want.
    I suggest you use the settings as shown in the picture bellow.

    Info
    titleNote
    For VLAN2 appear on "Management VLAN" you will have to have something connected to it (at least one port in USE).

    Image Removed
    Save your settings, and reboot the device.

  9.  

    Here is how to change the IGMP settings to use for VLAN2 Ravenna AES67.

     

    Click on "MULTICAST" on the left menu.
    Image Removed
    Click on "IPV4 Multicast Configuration" and then click on "IGMP SNOOPING".
    Image Removed
    The following pane should show up in the right side.
    Make sure "IGMP SNOOPING STATUS"  & "IGMP QUERIER STATUS" are ticked "ENABLE" as show in the picture.
    Image Removed
    Select the "ENTRY 2" (vlan id 2) and click on "EDIT" as shown on the picture below.

    Image Removed

     

    Please make sure you are physically connected to a port assign to VLAN2 (in our example, port 6)
    Note : you can do the same operation for VLAN1, to be able to access the Management interface for both VLANs.
    But you have to use another IP address (192.168.1.254 for example)

  10. Enter 169.254.1.254 in your browser, and enter your credentials.

  11. On the left pane menu, click on MULTICAST.

  12. Then click on IPV4 Multicast Configuration to expand it.
    Click now on IGMP SNOOPING.

    By default, our config files use the Basic QoS Mode but the DSCP to Queue are settings modified.
    Please check your current configuration and set them to the same as show in this guide.
    QoS Mode: Basic MODE
    Image Removed  Image Removed
    On the QoS Basic Mode / Global settings the Trust Mode should be : DSCP

    Image Removed
  18. Change the DSCP to Queue Settings as

     as well.
    Click on Apply once done.

    Note : Queue 34 : RTP AES67 / Queue 46 : PTP AES67 / RTP Ravenna / Queue 48 : PTP Ravenna / Queue 56 : PTP Dante

  22. Now is a good time to save the configuration.
    Go in Administration > File Management > File Operations.
    Select Duplicate as Operation Type.
    Source File Name : Running Configuration
    Destination File Name : Startup Configuration
    Click on Apply

    This will apply the current settings to the start up configuration

    witch will be run every time the switch reboots

    .
    In other terms that makes that configuration to

    become permanent.

     be permanent (unless a reset of the device is done).

  23. You must now restart the switch for the changes to apply.
