VLAN Groups
VLAN groups are used for load balancing of traffic on a Layer 2 network.
Packets are assigned a VLAN according to various classifications that have been
configured (such as VLAN groups).
If several classifications schemes are defined, packets are assigned to a VLAN in
the following order:
• TA G: If the packet is tagged, the VLAN is taken from the tag.
• MAC-Based VLAN: If a MAC-based VLAN has been defined, the VLAN is
taken from the source MAC-to-VLAN mapping of the ingress interface.
