Bridge

Netspan release SR5.0 introduced completely new user interfaces for VLAN configuration. The data in existing databases are translated automatically to the new configuration design and the BS TRxs and SSs already in the database will work without interruption. However the default configuration changed for newly discovered BS TRxs.

In Netspan SR5.0 the newly discovered BS TRx doesn't have any VLANs associated with its network port but BS TRx can pass traffic to SS. Because BS TRx has default VLAN port mode setting of transparent when it is discovered by EMS server. In contrast the SR3.0 Netspan behaviour was that the newly discovered BS TRxs had its network port configured with all available VLANs in the Netspan database.

See Add/Edit BS TRx for VLAN options.

Port
Provider VLAN Bridge (Q-in-Q)

Encapsulating IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tags within 802.1Q enables service providers to use a single VLAN to support customers who have multiple VLANs.  QinQ  on the subinterface level preserves VLAN IDs and keeps traffic in different customer VLANs segregated.  

SNMP Properties

Note: The SNMP read and write community needs to match that configured  in the BS TRx during its installation.
