Protocol VLAN Configuration Screen

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN ID field at the bottom of the screen.

2.Enter the VLAN ID. If a new VLAN ID is entered that has not been created on the switch, use a unique number between 2 and 4094. The VLAN IDs of 0, 1, and 4095 may not be used for user-defined VLANs. A FID will automatically be assigned to the new VLAN ID. The FID assigned will have the same value.

If an illegal number is entered, the Event Message Line will display: ”PERMISSIBLE RANGE FOR VLAN IDS: 2 to 4094” and the field will refresh with the previous value.

NOTE

Each VLAN ID must be unique. If a duplicate VLAN ID is entered, the switch assumes that the Administrator intends to modify the existing VLAN.

4.Use the SPACE bar to step to the appropriate protocol type; IP, IPX, Appletalk, Netbios, Banyan Vines, DECNET, or CUSTOM. If CUSTOM is selected, Ether Type 0x0 displays. The user’s own Ether Type can then be entered if necessary.

Any Ether Type entered in the Ether Type field and saved will become part of the selection in the Protocol field.
