ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
744
configure vlan protocol
configure vlan <vlan_name> protocol <protocol_name>
Description
Configures a VLAN to use a specific protocol filter.
Syntax Description
Default
Protocol any.
Usage Guidelines
If the keyword any is specified, all packets that cannot be classified into another protocol-based VLAN
are assigned to this VLAN as the default for its member ports.
Use the
configure protocol command to define your own protocol filter.
Protocol filters on the BlackDiamond 8800 series switch and the Summit X450 family of switches only. These
devices do not forward packets with a protocol-based VLAN set to AppleTalk. To ensure that AppleTalk
packets are forwarded on the device, create a protocol-based VLAN set to “any” and define other
protocol-based VLANs for other traffic, such as IP traffic. The AppleTalk packets will pass on the “any”
VLAN, and the other protocols will pass traffic on their specific protocol-based VLANs.
Example
The following command configures a VLAN named accounting as an IP protocol-based VLAN:
configure accounting protocol ip
vlan_name Specifies a VLAN name.
protocol_name Specifies a protocol filter name. This can be the name of a predefined protocol
filter, or one you have defined.
The following protocol filters are predefined:
•IP
•IPv6
•IPX
• NetBIOS
•DECNet
• IPX_8022
•IPX_SNAP
•AppleTalk
any indicates that this VLAN should act as the default VLAN for its member
ports.
