The Procedure for the Switch to Identify Packet Protocol

The Implementation of Protocol VLAN

This switch can match packets through protocol template and transmit packets in the specific VLAN according to the protocol. Protocol template, comprising encapsulation format and protocol type, is the standard to determine the protocol which a packet belongs to. The following table shows the common used encapsulation formats supported in network layer protocol and the protocol templates are for reference. Meanwhile some protocol templates has been preset in the switch, you can create protocol VLAN according to the corresponding protocol template.
