VLAN Translation

The VLAN Translation (mapping) feature allows traffic arriving on a VLAN to a Wire Mode interface operating in Secure mode to be mapped to a different VLAN on the outgoing paired interface. Re-routing some of the traffic coming into the appliance onto different VLANS allows you to perform further analysis, processing, or merely remapping traffic. This feature is supported on all Wire Mode-capable devices.

An advantage of Wire Mode, is that you can preprovision the VLAN mapping. This allows you to have the mapping in place before the interface receives traffic. You also can add and delete mapping on an active Wire Mode interface.

VLAN Translation is available on all platforms that support Wire Mode.

VLAN Translation and Wire Mode over VLAN interfaces cannot be enabled at the same time.
