VLAN Groups
This section describes how to configure VLAN groups. It describes the following
processes:
• MAC-based Groups
• Protocol-based VLANs
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.
• Protocol-Based VLAN—If a protocol-based VLAN has been defined, the
VLAN is taken from the (Ethernet type) protocol-to-VLAN mapping of the
ingress interface.
