3 Configuring the Switch

Command Usage

To configure protocol-based VLANs, follow these steps:

1.First configure VLAN groups for the protocols you want to use (page 3-140). Although not mandatory, we suggest configuring a separate VLAN for each major protocol running on your network. Do not add port members at this time.

2.Create a protocol group for each of the protocols you want to assign to a VLAN using the Protocol VLAN Configuration page.

3.Then map the protocol for each interface to the appropriate VLAN using the Protocol VLAN Port Configuration page.

Configuring Protocol Groups

Create a protocol group for one or more protocols.

Command Attributes

•Protocol Group ID – Group identifier of this protocol group. (Range: 1-2147483647)

•Frame Type17 – Frame type used by this protocol. (Options: Ethernet, RFC_1042, LLC_other)

•Protocol Type – The only option for the LLC_other frame type is IPX_raw. The options for all other frames types include: IP, ARP, RARP.

Web – Click VLAN, Protocol VLAN, Configuration. Enter a protocol group ID, frame type and protocol type, then click Apply.
