I agree not quite sure what you are asking:
But, tp do this considering an 8 port switch with VLAN capability, the
NetBackup Master/Media server is on Port 8
Port # Member of VLAN #
Port 1 1
Port 2 1
Port 3 2
Port 4 2
Port 5 3
Port 6 3
Port 7 4
Port 8 1,2,3,4 <---- NBU Server is a member of ALL VLANs
This is a common setup I have implemented on Cisco switches many times and
it works
