12 Defining VLAN Rules

VLAN rules are used to classify mobile port traffic for dynamic VLAN port assignment. Rules are defined

by specifying a port, MAC address, protocol, network address, binding, or DHCP criteria to capture

certain types of network device traffic. It is also possible to define multiple rules for the same VLAN. A

mobile port is assigned to a VLAN if its traffic matches any one VLAN rule.

There is an additional method for dynamically assigning mobile ports to VLANs that involves enabling

VLAN mobile tagging. This method is similar to defining rules in that the feature is enabled on the VLAN

that is going to receive the mobile port tagged traffic. The difference, however, is that tagged packets

received on mobile ports are classified by their 802.1Q VLAN ID tag and not by whether or not their

source MAC, network address, or protocol type matches VLAN rule criteria.

This chapter contains information and procedures for defining VLAN rules through the Command Line

Interface (CLI). CLI commands are used in the configuration examples; for more details about the syntax

of commands, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. Refer to
