this VLAN ID to untagged packets received for the protocols you included in this group.

can only belong to one group for a given protocol. If you have already added interface 0.1 to a group
for IP, you cannot add it to another group that also includes IP, although you could add it to a new
group for IPX.
Non-Configurable Data
