Interface Assignment Rules
»
An IP interface may optionally be set with a VLAN tag to result on vlan tagging at the interface
egress.
»
The VLAN tag set to an interface must be unique.
»
If a vlan tag is not set, packets will carry no vlan tag when egress the interface.
»
An interface ID is automatically assigned to each IP interface.
»
Each interface must be associated with a “purpose”.
›
One (and only one) of the interfaces must be set to purpose ‘application-host’
›
All other interfaces must be set to purpose ‘general’
›
If a “purpose” is not configured by the user, the interface will receive the ‘general’ status.
