This guide will explain how to setup your Switch 10 or 20 ports to use 2 VLANs.
Adding 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.
Table of contents:
3.1 Add a new VLAN
3.2 Add Ports to VLAN2
3.3 Change Device IP for VLAN2 (optional step, but recommended)
3.4 Change IGMP settings for VLAN2.
3.5 Change Green Ethernet settings.
3.6 Change QoS settings.
Adding a VLAN for Ravenna Networking.
- Click on "CREATE VLAN"
- Click on "ADD" to add a new "VLAN".
- Enter "VLAN ID": 2 (in this case 2) and Type a "VLAN NAME" (can be anything you want) and click "Apply"
- Click on the "Copy/Save Configuration" link to go save your changes.
- Choose "Running Configuration" to "Startup Configuration" and click "Apply"
- Click on "OK".
- Click on "DONE".
You might want to reboot your switch after this.
Adding ports to the new VLAN2 we created in previous step.
VLANs
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
You can set this as you wish but by default this is how we will configure the VLAN2.
- Go to "VLAN Management" and click on "PORT TO VLAN" on the menu, it will open the port to vlan pane on the right.
- Then select 2 in "VLAN ID equals to" and click on the "GO" button, it will open a new pane with VLAN2 config.
- As you can see by default all the ports for this VLAN are marked as excluded.
We want to change that to choose which ports we are going to use...
Check the following figure, representing what we want to do. - 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. - Then click on the "COPY/SAVE CONFIGURATION" link to go save this configuration.
- Save the current configuration into your startup configuration so you don't lose any changes if the device is rebooted..
- Click "DONE" to finish, you might want to reboot your switch.
- After this is done if you check VLAN1 config you can see that all the ports from VLAN2 are now auto excluded from VLAN1.
- 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:
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.
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.Note
For VLAN2 appear on "Management VLAN" you will have to have something connected to it (at least one port in USE).
Save your settings, and reboot the device.
Here is how to change the IGMP settings to use for VLAN2 Ravenna AES67.
- Click on "MULTICAST" on the left menu.
- Click on "IPV4 Multicast Configuration" and then click on "IGMP SNOOPING".
- 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. - Select the "ENTRY 2" (vlan id 2) and click on "EDIT" as shown on the picture below.
- In the window that just popped up edit the entries there (all the yellow marked entries, should be set as shown) and click "APPLY"
- Click on Copy/Save Configuration link (yellow marked) to go save your configuration .
- Choose "Running Configuration" and "Startup Configuration" and click "Apply".
- Click on "DONE" button and that is it.
By default, Green Ethernet settings are applied, this needs to be disabled.
Please check your current configuration and set them to the same as show in this guide.- Port Management > Green Ethernet > Properties
Untick both Energy Detect Mode and Short Reach.
Untick 802.3 Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE)
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
- On the QoS Basic Mode / Global settings the Trust Mode should be : DSCP
- By default these are the DSCP to Queue settings, we will change that.
- Change the DSCP to Queue Settings as shown in the following picture and click apply to apply the new settings to the current running configuration :
- Once you click apply the following appears at the top of the DSCP to Queue window.
Click on the Copy/Save Configuration link to go directly to the save configuration page. - Save your settings from Running Configuration to Startup Configuration (click apply to save).
That will then 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.
- Go to "Administration" then click "Management Interface" and then "IPV4 Interface", the following pane will open in the right.
