Layer 3 protocol-based VLANs
If you want some or all of the ports within a port-based VLAN to be organized according to Layer 3
protocol, you must configure a Layer 3 protocol-based VLAN within the port-based VLAN.
You can configure each of the following types of protocol-based VLAN within a port-based VLAN. All
the ports in the Layer 3 VLAN must be in the same Layer 2 VLAN.
Layer 3 protocol-based VLANs are as follows:
• AppleTalk - The device sends AppleTalk broadcasts to all ports within the AppleTalk protocol VLAN.
• IP - The device sends IP broadcasts to all ports within the IP protocol VLAN.
• IPv6 - The device sends IPv6 broadcasts to all ports within the IPv6 protocol VLAN.
• IPX - The device sends IPX broadcasts to all ports within the IPX protocol VLAN.
• DECnet - The device sends DECnet broadcasts to all ports within the DECnet protocol VLAN.
• NetBIOS - The device sends NetBIOS broadcasts to all ports within the NetBIOS protocol VLAN.
• Other - The device sends broadcasts for all protocol types other than those listed above to all ports
within the VLAN.
The following figure shows an example of Layer 3 protocol VLANs configured within a Layer 2 port-
based VLAN.
