VLAN Groups
• Which VLANs belong to each VLAN group.
VLAN groups can be used when assigning VLANs to an FWSM security context. A VLAN group can
be assigned to multiple FWSMs, and each FWSM can have multiple VLAN groups assigned to it. To
perform this assignment, see Add/Edit Security Context Dialog Box (FWSM), page 57-5.
The following topics describe the actions you can perform when defining VLAN groups on Catalyst
devices:
• Creating or Editing VLAN Groups, page 65-32
• Deleting VLAN Groups, page 65-33
• Interfaces/VLANs Page—VLAN Groups Tab, page 65-33

Creating or Editing VLAN Groups
You can create VLAN groups. When you create a VLAN group, remember that:
• Each group must have an ID.
• You can associate a VLAN group with one or more FWSM modules.
• Each VLAN can be a member of only one VLAN group.
