Solving the Problem
In this example, Switch 1 (S1) has already been configured with a default VLAN 0001 associated
with FDB ID 0001 as the PVID on all ports.
The following additional steps are required to configure the switch to solve this problem.
1. Define a new VLAN (VLAN ID 2) and filtering database (FDB ID 2) using the Device VLAN
Configuration screen.
2. Create a Layer 2 rule to associate the protocol AppleTalk 809B and 80F3 to VLAN ID 2 (VID2)
using the VLAN Classification Configuration screen. This rule is assigned to all ports.
3. Enable the Dynamic Egress control on VLAN 2 using the Network Tools command
(dynamic_egress enable 2).
With the above configuration, an AppleTalk frame received on any port will be classified into
VLAN 2 (the AppleTalk VLAN), and the Port VLAN List of that port is updated to include
VLAN 2.
For instance, if port 1 or 2 is connected to a new AppleTalk user , the AppleTalk frames received on
that port are dynamically associated with VLAN 2 and VLAN 2 is added to the Port VLAN List of
that port. The Port VLAN List contains a list of all VLANs whose frames can be transmitted out
that port.
