Defining VLAN Groups

VLAN groups increase network flexibility and portability. For example, network users

grouped by MAC address can log on to the network from multiple locations without

moving between VLANs.

VLANs can be grouped by MAC address, Subnets, and Protocols. Once a user logs on, the

system attempts to classify the user by MAC address. If the user cannot be classified by

MAC address, the system attempts to classify the user by Subnet. If the subnet

classification is unsuccessful, the system attempts to classify the user by protocol. If the

protocol classification is unsuccessful, the user is classified by PVID.

VLAN groups allow network managers to define VLAN groups based on specific criteria,

including MAC addresses, network subnets, and protocols. This section contains the

following topics:

• Defining VLAN MAC Based Groups

• Defining VLAN Subnet Based Groups

• Defining VLAN Protocol Based Groups

• Mapping Groups to VLANs
