Protocol-Based Groups to VLAN Mapping
To map a protocol group to a port, the port must be in General mode and not have
DVA configured on it (see Interface Settings).
Several groups can be bound to a single port, with each port being associated to
its own VLAN.
It is possible to map several groups to a single VLAN as well.
To map the protocol port to a VLAN:
STEP 1 Click VLAN Management > VLAN Groups > Protocol-Based Groups to VLAN.
The currently-defined mappings are displayed.
STEP 2 To associate an interface with a protocol-based group and VLAN, click Add.
The Group Type field displays the type of group being mapped.
STEP 3 Enter the following fields.
• Interface—Port or LAG number assigned to VLAN according to protocol-
based group.
• Group ID—Protocol group ID.
• VLAN ID—Attaches the interface to a user-defined VLAN ID.
