Network Attributes

In this user interface, you can set port attributes. You can also set the encapsulation format for P ports only.

Navigation Path

Parameters

Field	Value	Description
Port	PORTn or VCTRUNKn	A PORT or VCTRUNK port numbered n.
Port Type	UNI, C-Aware, S-Aware (for boards that support QinQ) Default: UNI	If the port is of the UNI port, the port processes the TAG attribute of 802.1Q and the port is with the Tag, Access and Hybrid attributes. If the port is of the C-Aware type, the port does not process the tag attributes in 802.1Q. It determines that the data packet carries C-VLAN tag and processes only the data packet that has the C-VLAN tag. If the port is of the S-Aware port, the port does not process the tag attributes in 802.1Q. It determines that the data packet carries the S-VLAN tag and processes only the data packet that has the S-VLAN tag. The encapsulation format is not available when you set Port Type to UNI. The tag attribute is not available when you set Port Type to C-Aware or S-Aware.

Value

Description

Port

PORTn or VCTRUNKn

A PORT or VCTRUNK port numbered n.

Port Type

UNI, C-Aware, S-Aware (for boards that support QinQ)

Default: UNI

If the port is of the UNI port, the port processes the TAG attribute of 802.1Q and the port is with the Tag, Access and Hybrid attributes.

If the port is of the C-Aware type, the port does not process the tag attributes in 802.1Q. It determines that the data packet carries C-VLAN tag and processes only the data packet that has the C-VLAN tag.

If the port is of the S-Aware port, the port does not process the tag attributes in 802.1Q. It determines that the data packet carries the S-VLAN tag and processes only the data packet that has the S-VLAN tag.

The encapsulation format is not available when you set Port Type to UNI. The tag attribute is not available when you set Port Type to C-Aware or S-Aware.
