Group Name to VLAN mapping Table
This page allows you to map a Group Name (already configured or to be configured in the future) to a
VLAN for the switch.
Setting Description
Delete
To delete a Group Name to VLAN mapping, check this box. The entry will be
deleted from the switch during the next
s
ave.
Group Name
A valid Group Name is a string, at most 16 characters long, which consists of a
combination of alphabets (a-z or A-Z) and integers (0-9) with no special
characters allowed. You may either use a Group that already includes one or
more protocols (see Protocol to Group mappings), or create a Group to VLAN ID
mapping that will become active the moment you add one or more protocols
inside that Group. Furthermore, the Group to VLAN ID mapping is not unique,
as long as the port lists of these mappings are mutually exclusive (e.g. Group1
can be mapped to VID 1 on port#1 and to VID 2 on port#2).
VLAN ID
Indicates the VLAN ID to which the Group Name will be mapped. A valid VLAN
ID ranges from 1 to 4095.
Port Members
A row of check boxes for each port is displayed for each Group Name to VLAN
ID mapping. To include a port in the mapping, check the box. To remove or
exclude the port from the mapping, make sure the box is unchecked. By default,
no ports are members, and all boxes are unchecked.
“Add New Entry” button
Click “Add New Entry” button to add a new entry in the mapping table. An empty row is added to the
table and the Group Name, VLAN ID, and port members can be configured as needed. Legal values
for a VLAN ID are 1 through 4095.
