CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

CLI – The following creates protocol group 1, and then specifies Ethernet frames with IP and ARP protocol types.

Console(config)#protocol-vlan protocol-group 1 add frame-type ethernet protocol-type ip3-66Console(config)#protocol-vlan protocol-group 1 add frame-type ethernet protocol-type arp Console(config)#

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 commands such as VLAN Static Table (page 3-159)or VLAN Static Membership (page 3-161),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.
