VLAN Configuration 3

Command Usage

To configure protocol-based VLANs, follow these steps:

1.First configure VLAN groups for the protocols you want to use (page 3-137). Although not mandatory, we suggest configuring a separate VLAN for each major protocol running on your network. Do not add port members at this time.

2.Create a protocol group for each of the protocols you want to assign to a VLAN using the Protocol VLAN Configuration page.

3.Then map the protocol for each interface to the appropriate VLAN using the Protocol VLAN Port Configuration page.
