2. MAC Address Rule
21) MAC Address Range Rule

2. The following prompt displays:
Set Rule Admin Status to ((e)nable/(d)isable):
Indicate whether or not you want to enable this rule. Type e to enable or d to disable. If
you enable the rule, the mobile group or AutoTracker VLAN will use it to determine
membership of devices. If you disable the rule, then this rule will not be used in assign-
ing devices, but the parameters you set up will be saved. The Admin Status for a Policy is
different from the Admin Status for the mobile group or AutoTracker VLAN as it controls
only to this specific rule. You can enable or disable the rule at a later time using the
modatvl command.
3. The following prompt displays:
Select Protocol:
1. IP
2. IPX
3. DECNET
4. APPLETALK

Enter protocol type (1):
Enter the number for the protocol that will be used to define this mobile group or
AutoTracker VLAN. Numbers are listed next to the protocol names. By selecting a specific
protocol, you are indicating that all traffic originating from network devices using that
protocol will be assigned to this mobile group or AutoTracker VLAN. You can select the
IP, IPX, DECNET, and APPLETALK protocols by entering 1, 2, 3, or 4, respectively.
