VLAN C

ONFIGURATION

3-183

To avoid these problems, you can configure this switch with
protocol-based VLANs that divide the physical network into logical
VLAN groups for each required protocol. When a frame is received at a
port, its VLAN membership can then be determined based on the
protocol type being used by the inbound packets.

Command Usage

To configure protocol-based VLANs, follow these steps:

1. First configure VLAN groups for the protocols you want to use

(page 3-171). 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 Type – Frame type used by this protocol. (Options: Ethernet,
RFC_1042, LLC_other)
