VLAN classifier configuration

The Management application supports VLAN classifier management only on Fabric OS 6.3.1_dcb and Fabric OS 7.0.0.

VLAN classifier rules are used to define specific rules for classifying untagged packets to selected VLANs based on protocol and MAC addresses. The classified frames are then tagged with a VLAN ID.

VLAN classifier rules can be categorized into the following areas:

•802.1Q protocol-based classifier rules

•MAC address-based classifier rules

VLAN classifiers are created on a per-switch basis.

NOTE

The VLAN Classifiers tab on the Edit Switch dialog box displays only on switches with Fabric OS versions 7.0.0 and later.
