match protocol
To identify a specific protocol as the match criterion for a class map, use the match protocol command in
class map configuration mode. To remove protocol-based match criteria from a class map, use the no form
of this command.
match [not] protocol {protocol-value [protocol-value1 ... protocol-value7] |[min-value -
max-value]}
no match [not] protocol {protocol-value [protocol-value1 ... protocol-value7] |[ min-value -
max-value]}

Usage Guidelines
The match protocol command is supported only in ingress direction. The maximum allowed entry is 1.
Definitions of traffic classes are based on match criteria, including protocols, access control lists (ACLs),
input interfaces, QoS labels, and experimental (EXP) field values. Packets satisfying the match criteria for a
class constitute the traffic for that class.
The match protocol command specifies the name of a protocol to be used as the match criteria against which
packets are checked to determine if they belong to the class specified by the class map. Available protocol
names are listed in the table that follows.
The protocol-value argument supports a range of protocol numbers. After you identify the class, you may use
the match protocol command to configure its match criteria.
