Parameter

Description

Unit

Choose the Switch ID number of the Switch in the switch stack to be modified.

VID (VLAN ID)

Allows the entry of a VLAN ID in the Add dialog box, or displays the VLAN ID of an existing VLAN in the

Modify dialog box.VLANs can be identified by either the VID or the VLAN name.

VLAN Name

Allows the entry of a name for the new VLAN in the Add dialog box, or for editing the VLAN name in the

Modify dialog box.

Advertisement

Enabling this function will allow the Switch to send out GVRP packets to outside sources, notifying that they

may join the existing VLAN.

Type

Displays the type of protocol associated with this VLAN.

Protocol ID

The following parameters allow for the creation of protocol-based VLANs.The Switch supports 15 pre-

configured protocol-based VLANs plus one user-defined protocol based VLAN where the administrator may

configure the settings for the appropriate protocol and forwarding of packets (16 total). Selecting a specific

protocol will indicate which protocol will be utilized in determining the VLAN ownership of a tagged packet.

Pre-set protocol-based VLANs on the switch include:
port – Using this parameter will allow the creation of a normal 802.1Q VLAN on the Switch.
ip – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet

header is concurrent with this protocol.This packet header information is based on the Ethernet protocol.
rarp – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet

header is concurrent with this protocol.This packet header information is defined by the Reverse Address

Resolution (RARP) Protocol.
ipx802dot3 – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the

packet header is concurrent with this protocol.This packet header information is defined by Novell NetWare

802.3 (IPX - Internet Packet Exchange).
ipx802dot2 – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the

packet header is concurrent with this protocol.This packet header information is defined by Novell NetWare

802.2 (IPX - Internet Packet Exchange).
ipxSnap – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet

header is concurrent with this protocol.This packet header information is defined by Novell and the Sub

Network Access Protocol (SNAP).
ipxEthernet2 – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the

packet header is concurrent with this protocol.This packet header information is defined by the Ethernet

Protocol.
AppleTalk – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the

packet header is concurrent with this protocol.This packet header information is defined by the AppleTalk

protocol.
decLAT – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet

header is concurrent with this protocol.This packet header information is defined by the Digital Equipment

Corporation (DEC) Local Area Transport (LAT) protocol.
decOther – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the

packet header is concurrent with this protocol.This packet header information is defined by the Digital

Equipment Corporation (DEC) Protocol.
sna802dot2 – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the

packet header is concurrent with this protocol.This packet header information is defined by the Systems

Network Architecture(SNA) 802.2 Protocol.
netBios – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet

header is concurrent with this protocol.This packet header information is defined by the NetBIOS Protocol.
xns – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet

header is concurrent with this protocol.This packet header information is defined by the Xerox Network

Systems (XNS) Protocol.
vines – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet

header is concurrent with this protocol.This packet header information is defined by the Banyan Virtual

Integrated Network Service (VINES) Protocol.
ipV6 – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the packet

header is concurrent with this protocol.This packet header information is defined by the Internet Protocol

Version 6 (IPv6) Protocol.
userDefined – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the

packet header is concurrent with this protocol defined by the user.This packet header information is defined by

entering the following information:
