7.3.8 Profile Network Configuration and Deployment Considerations

Profile Network Configuration
Before defining a profile’s network configuration, refer to the following deployment guidelines to ensure the
profile configuration is optimally effective:
• Administrators often need to route traffic to interoperate between different VLANs. Bridging VLANs are
only for non-routable traffic, like tagged VLAN frames destined to some other device which will untag it.
When a data frame is received on a port, the VLAN bridge determines the associated VLAN based on the
port of reception.
• Static routes, while easy, can be overwhelming within a large or complicated network. Each time there
is a change, someone must manually make changes to reflect the new route. If a link goes down, even if
there is a second path, the router would ignore it and consider the link down.
