Creating VLAN Maps

A VLAN map is an object that controls packets that are switched within a VLAN. When you attach a VLAN map to a VLAN, it directs the VLAN to forward or drop traffic from specific IP or MAC addresses.

A VLAN map has to be associated with an ACL. If you want a VLAN map to filter based on IP addresses, you must associate it with an ACL that filters based on IP addresses. If you want it to filter based on MAC addresses, you must associate it with an ACL that filters based on MAC addresses. An associate ACL filters incoming packets before that VLAN map filters them. It filters outgoing packets after the VLAN map filters them.

To create a VLAN map and attach it to a VLAN, choose VLAN > VLAN Maps and use the VLAN Maps window.
