VLAN Group

The VLAN group can extend the number of supported VLAN flows. In this user interface, you can configure a VLAN group. You can assign services that have consecutive CVLANs into a VLAN group. In this way, you configure the VLAN group as a whole in the same way as you configure a single VLAN.

Navigation Path

In the NE Explorer, select a board and choose Configuration > Ethernet Service > VLAN Group from the Function Tree.

Guideline

The configuration principles are as follows:

The VLAN group is of port attributes. It is valid only at the service input port. Both the PORT and VCTRUNK ports can be set as a VLAN group.
The configuration of a VLAN group is based on the C-VLAN. The configuration is not valid for the EPL services without VLAN or the QinQ services without C-VLAN.
When you create a VLAN group, if a service is configured for a member VLAN (a non-initial VLAN in the VLAN group), the VLAN group cannot be created. The service mentioned includes services that involve VLAN configuration, such as EPL service, flow configuration, ETH OAM configuration, and flow statistics rule configuration.
When you create a VLAN group, if a service is configured for the initial VLAN, the VLAN group can be created, but the service may be transiently interrupted.
The maximum number of VLAN groups is consistent with the number of board Links.
After you create the port VLAN group, if the VLAN ID of the services to be created is within the VLAN group, the services must be created based on the initial VLAN ID. If the VLAN ID is not within the port VLAN group, the services is unrestricted.

NOTICE:

Creating a VLAN group may affect the services.
Modifying a VLAN group may affect the services.
Deleting a VLAN group may interrupt the services in the VLAN group.

Parameters

Field	Value	Description
Board	Equipment that supports the master and slave shelf management: shelf ID(shelf name)-slot number-board name Equipment that does not support the master and slave shelf management: slot number-board name	Displays the name of a board.
Port	For example: PORT3	Choose the port of the VLAN group.
Initial VLAN	For example: 1	Sets and displays the initial VLAN. The value of Initial VLAN ranges from 1 to 4095. The calculation formula is as follows: Initial VLAN = p x (2^n), where n = 0, 1,..., 12, and p is an integer ranging from 1 to 2^m. m + n< = 12.
Last VLAN	For example: 1	Displays the VLAN ID of last the VLAN.
VLAN Group Member Count	For example: 1	Sets and displays the number of members in a VLAN group. The calculation formula of VLAN Group Member CountVLAN depends on the value of Initial VLAN. When Initial VLAN = 1, VLAN Group Member Count = 2^n - 1. When Initial VLAN has another value, VLAN Group Member Count = 2^n, where n is equal to the n in the formula of Initial VLAN. The maximum number of VLAN groups is equal to the number of links on a board.
