Source IP subnet-based VLANs

(Passport 8600 modules only.) Passport 8600 modules support policy-based VLANs based on IP subnets. You can assign access ports to multiple subnet-based VLANs. A frame's membership in a subnet-based VLAN is based on the IP source address associated with a mask. Subnet-based VLANs are optionally routable. Using source IP subnet-based VLANs, multiple workstations on a single port can belong to different subnets, similar to multinetting.

Note: IP subnet-based VLANs cannot be used on segments that act as a transit network, that is a network routing to a bridged subnet.
