Using the Console Interface

User-Defined Protocol Identifier (PID) Description

In addition to the standard predefined protocols, user-defined protocol-based VLANs are supported. For user-defined protocol-based VLANs, you specify the Protocol Identifier (PID) for the VLAN. Any frames that match the specified PID in any of the following ways are assigned to that user-defined VLAN:

The ethertype for Ethernet Type 2 frames

The PID in Ethernet SNAP frames

The DSAP or SSAP value in Ethernet 802.2 frames

The following PIDs (see Table 3-15) are reserved and are not available for user-defined PIDs:
