4 • VLAN bridged connection Models 3224 G.SHDSL IpDSLAM & 6081RC NAS Applications Guide36 IntroductionIntroductionThe Models 3224 and 6081RC support vLAN (802.1Q) connections between remote users and a central loca-tion. To create a VLAN connection for bridged PPP connections, each PPP connection is attached to a bridgeconnected to a separate virtual Ethernet interface. Finally, each virtual interface is attached to a physical Ether-net port as shown in figure 32).Figure 32. VLAN connection diagramPackets arriving from the remote CPE will be tagged with VLAN information and sent to the Ethernet port.VLAN packets received from the LAN by the Ethernet port of the 3224 or 6081RC and corresponding to theremote CPE, will be stripped of VLAN information and passed to the bridge module for transmission to theremote CPE.To create VLAN connections, do the following:1. On the model 3224, Configure G.SHDSL Channels (see section “Configuring Model 3224 G.SHDSLparameters” on page 11 for details). On the Model 6081RC, configure H.110 channels (see section “Con-figuring Model 6081RC H.110 parameters” on page 12” for details)2. Create a bridge group (see section “Creating a bridge group” on page 25).3. Configure PPP channel parameters (see section “PPP channel configuration” on page 27).4. Attach a VLAN ID to an Ethernet interface (see section “Attaching a VLAN ID to an Ethernet interface”on page 36).5. Attach the bridge/PPP to the VLAN module (see section “Attaching a bridge interface to a VLAN mod-ule” on page 37).Attaching a VLAN ID to an Ethernet interfaceOnce a bridge group and PPP channel has been configured, do the following:1. Click the VLAN(8021Q) link in the Configuration Menu pane (see figure 3 on page 6) to display theVLAN (802.1Q) Configuration page (see figure 33).Figure 33. VLAN (802.1Q) Configuration page
