Assigning an 802.1Q Group to a Port
Previous versions of the Omni Switch/Router (version 4.0 and earlier) only allowed for single
spanning tree configured 802.1Q groups using the
spanning tree configured 802.1Q groups using the
addqgp
,
viqgp
, and
delqgp
menu
commands. These commands were invalidated in the 4.1 release and replaced by the
cas
,
mas
,
vas
, and
das
service commands.
The procedure for assigning an 802.1Q group to a port is slightly different, depending on
whether the port is a 10/100 or Gigabit Ethernet module port. (For additional information on
Gigabit and Kodiak-based Ethernet modules, see Chapter 15, “Managing Ethernet Modules.”)
Up to 64 groups can be supported using multiple spanning tree on an

Gigabit and Kodiak-based Ethernet modules, see Chapter 15, “Managing Ethernet Modules.”)
