11.2.2.5 Managing Protocol-based VLAN
11.2.2.5.1. 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.
ARP - Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a low-level protocol that dynamically
maps network layer addresses to physical medium access control (MAC) addresses
IPX - The Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) is a connectionless datagram
Network-layer protocol that forwards data over a network.
VLAN - VLAN can be any number in the range of (1 to 3965) . All the ports in the group will
assign this VLAN ID to untagged packets received for the protocols you included in this
group.
Slot/Port(s) - Select the interface(s) you want to be included in the group. Note that a
given interface can only belong to one group for a given protocol. If you have already
added interface 0.1 to a group for IP, you cannot add it to another group that also includes
IP, although you could add it to a new group for IPX.
Non-Configurable Data
Group ID - A number used to identify the group created by the user. Group IDs are
automatically assigned when a group is created by the user.
