Configuring protocol VLANs with dynamic ports
The configuration examples for protocol VLANs in the sections above show how to configure the
VLANs using static ports. You also can configure the following types of protocol VLANs with dynamic
ports:
• AppleTalk protocol
• IP protocol
• IPX protocol
• IP subnet
• IPX network
NOTE
The software does not support dynamically adding ports to AppleTalk cable VLANs. Conceptually, an
AppleTalk cable VLAN consists of a single network cable, connected to a single port. Therefore,
dynamic addition and removal of ports is not applicable.
NOTE
You cannot route to or from protocol VLANs with dynamically added ports.
Aging of dynamic ports
When you add the ports to the VLAN, the software automatically adds them all to the VLAN. However,
dynamically added ports age out. If the age time for a dynamic port expires, the software removes the
port from the VLAN. If that port receives traffic for the IP subnet or IPX network, the software adds the
port to the VLAN again and starts the aging timer over. Each time the port receives traffic for the
VLAN's IP subnet or IPX network, the aging timer starts over.
