Configure Inline Network Bundle

The Flexible inline network bundle feature allows you to group multiple inline networks into an inline network bundle. You can configure flexible inline maps with the inline network bundle as the source. GigaVUE‑FM configures separate inline maps for each inline networks that are grouped in the inline network bundle. The inline maps are configured based on the Tool Side VLAN tags for the multiple inline networks and the rules that you specified when configuring the inline map for the network bundle.
