Customer Domain

The Unified Profile Customer Domain Screen displays all configured Customer Domains create, edit, and delete Customer Domains. Customer Domains provide an additional method for segregating device traffic. A Customer Domain is identified by a numerical ID, which can be assigned to UNP ports and Access Classification Rules. By default, all UNP ports (bridge and access) and profile rules are assigned to domain 0. The main benefits of Customer Domains is that they provide the ability to group physical UNP ports or link aggregates into one logical domain. Once a UNP port is assigned to a specific Customer Domain ID, only classification rules associated with the same ID are applied to that port.

An example of using customer domains would be to group UNP ports carrying traffic for a specific customer into the same domain (all Customer A ports assigned to Domain 2). Then assign VLAN and/or service profiles tailored for that customer to the same Domain ID (all profiles for Customer A assigned to Domain 2).
