Interface assignments
For each VLAN that you create, you must assign one or more BIG-IP® system
interfaces to that VLAN. When you assign an
interface to a VLAN, you indirectly control the hosts from which the BIG-IP system interface
sends or receives messages.
You can assign not only individual interfaces to the VLAN, but also
trunks.
For example, if you assign interface 1.11 to
VLAN A
, and you then
associate VLAN A
with a virtual server, then the virtual server sends its
outgoing traffic through interface 1.11, to a destination host in VLAN A
.
Similarly, when a destination host sends a message to the BIG-IP system, the host’s VLAN
membership determines the BIG-IP system interface that should receive the incoming traffic.Each VLAN has a MAC address. The MAC address of a VLAN is the same MAC address of the
lowest-numbered interface assigned to that VLAN.
