Configuring protocol-based VLAN classifier rules
You can configure VLAN classifier rules to define specific rules for classifying frames to selected
VLANs based on protocol and MAC addresses. Sets of rules can be grouped into VLAN classifier
groups (refer to
Deleting a VLAN classifier rule on page 363).
VLAN classifier rules (1 through 256) are a set of configurable rules that reside in one of these
categories:
• 802.1Q protocol-based classifier rules
• Source MAC address-based classifier rules
• Encapsulated Ethernet classifier rules
NOTE
Multiple VLAN classifier rules can be applied per interface, provided that the resulting VLAN IDs are
unique for the different rules.
802.1Q protocol-based VLANs apply only to untagged frames, or frames with priority tagging.
With both Ethernet-II and 802.2 SNAP encapsulated frames, the following protocol types are
supported:
• Ethernet hexadecimal (0x0000 through 0xffff)
• Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
• FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP)
• IP version 6 (IPv6)
NOTE
For complete information on all available VLAN classifier rule options, refer to the Network OS
Command Reference.
Configuring a VLAN classifier rule
To configure a ARP protocol-based VLAN classifier rule, perform the following steps from privileged
EXEC mode.
1. Enter the configure terminal command to access global configuration mode.
2. Enter the vlan classifier rule command to configure a protocol-based VLAN classifier rule.
switch(config)# vlan classifier rule 1 proto ARP encap ethv2
NOTE
Refer to the Network OS Command Reference for complete information on all the protocols
available for the vlan classifier rule command.
Configuring MAC address-based VLAN classifier rules
To configure a MAC address-based VLAN classifier rule, perform the following steps from privileged
EXEC mode.
