eNodeBnew hardware

The use of VLANs can be configurable compliant to IEEE802.1Q.

Traffic can be flexible mapped onto one or more VLANs, as a minimum the traffic from X2, S1_U, S1_MME and OAM can separately mapped onto different VLANs.

Support multi VLANs on single IP address, also multi VLANs on multi IP addresses.
