Configuring an iNode with Tagged WAN Traffic for One-Arm Mode

Article summary

This command is supported only in the nodeos distro of iNode operating system. If you’re not sure of the distro you have, see Finding iNode Version and Distro.

These commands show how to change the VLAN on the uplink (WAN interface) from the iNode command-line interface.

Note that by default, the WAN traffic has no VLAN tag.

In the configuration example below, once the settings are applied, the iNode tags all uplink traffic with VLAN ID 4093 and all uplink traffic is expected to have VLAN ID 4093.

If you change the VLAN ID of the WAN interface without also changing the configuration of the external network supporting the VLAN, the iNode will lose connection to ioTium Orchestrator and its Virtual iNodes.
iotium@nodeos > set wan
iotium@nodeos (set wan) > vlan --id 4093
iotium@nodeos (set wan) > save

iotium@nodeos (set wan) > show
 INTERFACE |    MAC ADDRESS    |        IPV4 ADDRESS         | DEFAULT GATEWAY | STATE | TYPE  | VLAN
-----------+-------------------+-----------------------------+-----------------+-------+-------+-------
WAN1 | xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx | 192.168.0.162/255.255.255.0 | | | wired | 4093

To remove the VLAN ID from the WAN network, use the following commands:

iotium@nodeos > unset wan
iotium@nodeos (unset wan) > save
iotium@nodeos (unset wan) > show
 INTERFACE |    MAC ADDRESS    |        IPV4 ADDRESS         | DEFAULT GATEWAY | STATE | TYPE  | VLAN
-----------+-------------------+-----------------------------+-----------------+-------+-------+-------
WAN1 | xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx | 192.168.0.162/255.255.255.0 | | | wired |
