VLAN Configuration 3

Mapping Protocols to VLANs

Map a protocol group to a VLAN for each interface that will participate in the group.

Command Usage

When creating a protocol-based VLAN, only assign interfaces using this configuration screen. If you assign interfaces using any of the other VLAN menus such as the VLAN Static Table (page 3-141)or VLAN Static Membership by Port menu (page 3-143),these interfaces will admit traffic of any protocol type into the associated VLAN.

When a frame enters a port that has been assigned to a protocol VLAN, it is processed in the following manner:

-If the frame is tagged, it will be processed according to the standard rules applied to tagged frames.

-If the frame is untagged and the protocol type matches, the frame is forwarded to the appropriate VLAN.

-If the frame is untagged but the protocol type does not match, the frame is forwarded to the default VLAN for this interface.

Command Attributes

Interface – Port or trunk identifier.

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

VLAN ID – VLAN to which matching protocol traffic is forwarded. (Range: 1-4093)

Web – Click VLAN, Protocol VLAN, Port Configuration. Select a a port or trunk, enter a protocol group ID, the corresponding VLAN ID, and click Apply.
