Configuring Dynamic VLAN Port Assignment

Dynamic VLAN port assignment requires the following configuration steps:
1
Use the vlan port mobile
VLAN assignment. See
2
Enable/disable mobile port properties that determine mobile port behavior. See
Port Properties" on page 6-16
3
Create VLANs that will receive and forward mobile port traffic. See
for more information.
4
Configure the method of traffic classification (VLAN rules or tagged VLAN ID) that will trigger
dynamic assignment of a mobile port to the VLANs created in Step 3. See
page 6-8 and "VLAN Mobile Tag Classification" on page 6-5
Once the above configuration steps are completed, dynamic VLAN assignment occurs when a device
connected to a mobile port starts to send traffic. This traffic is examined by switch software to determine
which VLAN should carry the traffic based on the type of classification, if any, defined for a particular
VLAN. See "Dynamically Assigning Ports to VLANs" on page 6-4
