Protocol VLANs
Configuring Protocol VLAN Groups
Use the VLAN > Protocol (Configure Protocol - Add) page to create protocol groups.
CLI References
• “protocol-vlan protocol-group (Configuring Groups)” on page 401
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
• Frame Type – Choose either Ethernet, RFC 1042, or LLC Other as the frame type used by this
protocol.
• Protocol Type – Specifies the protocol type to match. The available options are IP, ARP, RARP
and IPv6. If LLC Other is chosen for the Frame Type, the only available Protocol Type is IPX Raw.
• Protocol Group ID – Protocol Group ID assigned to the Protocol VLAN Group.
(Range: 1-2147483647)
NOTE
Traffic which matches IP Protocol Ethernet Frames is mapped to the VLAN (VLAN 1) that has been
configured with the switch's administrative IP. IP Protocol Ethernet traffic must not be mapped to
another VLAN or you will lose administrative network connectivity to the switch. If lost in this manner,
network access can be regained by removing the offending Protocol VLAN rule via the console.
Alternately, the switch can be power-cycled, however all unsaved configuration changes will be lost.
Interface
To configure a protocol group:
1. Click VLAN, Protocol.
2. Select Configure Protocol from the Step list.
3. Select Add from the Action list.
4. Select an entry from the Frame Type list.
5. Select an entry from the Protocol Type list.
6. Enter an identifier for the protocol group.
7. Click Apply.
