To configure protocol-based VLANs, follow these steps:
1. First configure VLAN groups for the required protocols (page 850). Although
not mandatory, it is suggested to configure a separate VLAN for each major
protocol running on the network. Do not add port members at this time.
2. Create a protocol group for each of the protocols assigned to a VLAN using
the protocol-vlan protocol-group command (General
Configuration mode).
3. Then map the protocol for each interface to the appropriate VLAN using the
protocol-vlan protocol-group command (Interface Configuration
mode).
