Supporting such a topology, requires this configuration:
•
Port 3 is portshielded to X5 with dedicated uplink option.
•
Port 10 is portshielded to X5 and configured as a trunk to carry VLAN 100.
•
Port 11 is portshielded to X5 and configured as a trunk to carry VLAN 150.

Port 12 is portshielded to X5 and configured as an access to carry VLAN 200.
Configuring a Dedicated Uplink for a VLAN
Support for VLAN(s) can be achieved in a multi-step configuration process:

traffic for other firewall interfaces along with VLAN(s) support.
2 Configure the dedicated link by:
a Choosing an extended switch port that is connected physically to the firewall interface.
b Portshielding the port to the firewall interface.
c Choosing the dedicated link option.
3 Select the extended switch port on which VLAN(s) need to be enabled
4 Portshield the switch port to the firewall interface.
5 Configure the required VLAN(s) under the VLAN tab.
