The page has the following parameters:

  • Group ID: The VLAN Translation mappings are organized into Groups, identified by the Group ID. This way a port is configured to use a number of VLAN Translation mappings easily by simply configuring it to use a given group. Then number of possible groups in a switch is equal to the number of ports present in this switch. A port can be configured to use any of the groups, but only one at any given time. Multiple ports can be configured to use the same group. A valid Group ID is an integer value from 1-8.
    Note: By default, each port is set to use the group with Group ID equal to the port number. For example, port #1 is by default set to use group with GID = 1.
  • Direction: Indicates the direction of the VLAN Translation and it refers to the switch. The direction can be Ingress, where the translation takes place on the VLAN ID of frames entering the switch port, Egress, where the translation takes place on the VLAN ID of frames exiting the switch port, or Both, where the translation takes place on both of the above directions.
  • VID: Indicates the VLAN ID of the mapping (that is 'source' VLAN). A valid VLAN ID ranges 1-4095.
  • TVID: Indicates the translated VLAN ID to which a VLAN ID of a frame will be translated to. A valid translated VLAN ID ranges 1-4095.
