each interface that will participate in the group.
CLI References
• “protocol-vlan protocol-group (Configuring Interfaces)” on page 404
Command Usage
• When creating a protocol-based VLAN, only assign interfaces using this configuration screen. If
you assign interfaces using any of the other VLAN menus such as the VLAN Static table
(
page 724 ), these interfaces will admit traffic of any protocol type into the associated VLAN.
• When a frame enters a port that has been assigned to a protocol VLAN, it is processed in the
following manner:
• If the frame is tagged, it will be processed according to the standard rules applied to
tagged frames.
• If the frame is untagged and the protocol type matches, the frame is forwarded to the
appropriate VLAN.
• If the frame is untagged but the protocol type does not match, the frame is forwarded to
the default VLAN for this interface.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
• Interface – Displays a list of ports or trunks.
• Port – Port Identifier. (Range: 1-12)
• Trunk – Trunk Identifier. (Range: 1-12)
