VLAN Attributes

Use the VLAN attributes page to define additional configurations on a per-VLAN basis within a network policy. VLAN attributes are applied when the VLAN is defined within an assigned port type or when the VLAN deployment option is enabled. If dynamic VLANs are utilized, then the VLAN deployment option can be enabled within the VLAN attributes page to apply VLAN settings.

Note

A VLAN defined within Instant Port Profiles as Non-Forwarding will not apply VLAN attributes.
