VLAN overview

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.

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.

When you add a port-based VLAN,
the device removes all the ports in the
new VLAN from DEFAULT-VLAN.
