protocol vlan group
Use the protocol vlan group command in Interface Configuration mode to add the physical 
unit/port interface to the protocol-based group identified by 
groupid
. A group may have more 
than one interface associated with it. Each interface and protocol combination can be 
associated with one group only. If adding an interface to a group causes any conflicts with 
protocols currently associated with the group, this command fails and the interface(s) are not 
added to the group. Ensure that the referenced VLAN is created prior to the creation of the 
protocol-based group except when GVRP is expected to create the VLAN.
To remove the interface from this protocol-based VLAN group that is identified by this 
groupid
, 
use the no form of this command.
If you select all, all ports are removed from this protocol group.
