11.3.9 Managing Protocol-based VLAN
11.3.9.1 Protocol-based VLAN Configuration Page
You can use a protocol-based VLAN to define filtering criteria for untagged packets. By default, if you do
not configure any port- (IEEE 802.1Q) or protocol-based VLANs, untagged packets will be assigned to
VLAN 1. You can override this behavior by defining either port-based VLANs or protocol-based VLANs,
or both. Tagged packets are always handled according to the IEEE 802.1Q standard, and are not
included in protocol-based VLANs.
If you assign a port to a protocol-based VLAN for a specific protocol, untagged frames received on that
port for that protocol will be assigned the protocol-based VLAN ID. Untagged frames received on the
port for other protocols will be assigned the Port VLAN ID - either the default PVID (1) or a PVID you
have specifically assigned to the port using the Port VLAN Configuration screen.
You define a protocol-based VLAN by creating a group. Each group has a one-to-one relationship with a
VLAN ID, can include one to three protocol definitions, and can include multiple ports. When you create
a group you will choose a name and a Group ID will be assigned automatically.
Selection Criteria
Group ID - You can use this screen to reconfigure or delete an existing protocol-based VLAN, or
create a new one. Use this pull down menu to select one of the existing PBVLANs, or select 'Create'
to add a new one. A Group ID number will be assigned automatically when you create a new group.
You can create up to 128 groups.
Configurable Data
Group Name - Use this field to assign a name to a new group. You may enter up to 16 characters.
Protocol(s) - Select the protocols you want to be associated with the group. There are three
configurable protocols: IP, IPX, and ARP. Hold down the control key to select more than one
protocol.
IP - IP is a network layer protocol that provides a connectionless service for the delivery of data.
