7.8.3Assigning a Classification to a VID

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you read Section 7.8.1 for more information concerning classification before configuring the SmartSwitch device. Incorrect configuration will affect network operation.

To assign a Classification to a VID, proceed as follows:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the VID (VLAN identification) field.

2.Type in the appropriate VID. Press ENTER.

3.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Classification field.

4.Press the SPACE bar to step to the appropriate Classification. Table 7-8lists the subclassification associated with each Classification (examples of classifications: Ethernet II Type, 802.3 SAP, IP TOS, IP Protocol Type, etc.).

5.Use the arrow keys to highlight the subclassification field to the immediate right of the Classification field. The name of the field changes depending on the selected Classification, as shown in Table 7-8(examples of subclassification: Ethernet II Type, SSAP/DSAP (802.3), Type of Service, IP Protocol Type, etc.).

6.Press the SPACE bar to step to the appropriate protocol. In some cases, there is only one selection and a value needs to be entered. This is indicated by bold zeros. Table 7-8lists the possible selections associated with each subclassification (examples: IPX, AppleTalk, NetBIOS, Banyan Vines, 000.000.000.000, 0x00000000, etc.).

7.In some cases, a selection in the subclassification field requires a value to be entered in a third field to the right of the subclassification field. If so, use the arrow keys to highlight that third field and type in the appropriate value. Otherwise, go to step 8.

8.Use the arrow keys to highlight the ADD command field.

9.Press ENTER to save the VID and Classification settings. After a brief delay, the Classification Rule will display in the top half of the screen.

NOTE: After creating a classification rule you must assign it to the appropriate ports using the Protocol Port Configuration screen described in Section 7.9.
