200
ipx: Specifies the IPX-based VLAN. The keywords ethernetii, llc, raw, and snap specify
IPX encapsulation formats.
mode: Configures a user-defined protocol template for the VLAN. The keywords ethernetii, llc,
and
snap specify the available encapsulation formats.
ethernetii etype etype-id: Matches the Ethernet II encapsulation format and the specified
protocol type ID. The
etype-id argument specifies the protocol type ID of inbound packets, in the
range of 600 to ffff in hexadecimal notation, excluding 800, 86dd, 809b, and 8137.
llc: Matches the LLC encapsulation format.
dsap dsap-id: Specifies the destination service access point in hexadecimal notation, in the
range of 0 to ff.
ssap ssap-id: Specifies the source service access point in hexadecimal notation, in the range of 0
to ff.
snap etype etype-id: Matches the SNAP encapsulation format and the specified protocol type
value. The
etype-id argument specifies the Ethernet type of inbound packets, in the range of 600
to ffff in hexadecimal notation, excluding 8137.
protocol-index: Specifies a protocol template index that is associated with the VLAN. The value
range for this argument is 0 to 65535. The system will automatically assign an index if you do not
specify this argument.
to protocol-end: Specifies an end protocol template index of a protocol template range, in the
range of 0 to 65535. The value for the
protocol-end argument must be greater than or equal to
the value for the
protocol-index argument.
all: Specifies all protocols associated with the VLAN.
Usage guidelines
CAUTION:
IP uses ARP for address resolution in Ethernet. To prevent communication failures, configure the IP
and ARP templates in the same VLAN and associate them with the same port.
When you use the mode keyword to configure a protocol template, follow these restrictions and
guidelines:
• Do not set the
etype-id argument in the ethernetii etype etype-id option to the
following hexadecimal values:
{ 800—Specifies the IPv4 protocol in Ethernet II encapsulation.
{ 809b—Specifies the AppleTalk protocol in Ethernet II encapsulation.
{ 8137—Specifies the IPX protocol in Ethernet II encapsulation.
{ 86dd—Specifies the IPv6 protocol in Ethernet II encapsulation.
• Do not set both the
dsap-id and ssap-id arguments to any of the following hexadecimal
values:
{ e0—Specifies the 802.2 LLC encapsulation format for IPX packets.
{ ff—Specifies the 802.3 raw encapsulation format for IPX packets.
{ aa—Specifies the 802.2 SNAP encapsulation format.
When either of the
dsap-id and ssap-id arguments is configured, the system assigns the
hexadecimal value aa to the other argument.
• Do not set the
etype-id argument in the snap etype etype-id option to the hexadecimal
value 8137. Otherwise, the template format will be the same as that of the IPX protocol. You can
set the
etype-id argument to the hexadecimal value 800, 809b, or 86dd. The hexadecimal
values 800, 809b, and 86dd correspond to IPv4, AppleTalk, and IPv6, respectively.
