Protocol VLANs

– 176 –

LLC – Includes the DSAP (Destination Service Access Point) and SSAP

(Source Service Access Point) values. (Range: 0x00-0xff; Default: 0xff)

SNAP – Includes OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) and PID

(Protocol ID) values:

OUI – A value in the format of xx-xx-xx where each pair (xx) in the

string is a hexadecimal value in the ranges of 0x00-0xff.

PID – If the OUI is hexadecimal 000000, the protocol ID is the

Ethernet type (EtherType) field value for the protocol running on top

of SNAP. If the OUI is that of a particular organization, the protocol

ID is a value assigned by that organization to the protocol running
on top of SNAP.
In other words, if value of the OUI field is 00-00-00, then value of

the PID will be etherType (0x0600-0xffff), and if value of the OUI is

other than 00-00-00, then valid value of the PID will be any value

from 0x0000 to 0xffff.

Group Name – The name assigned to the Protocol VLAN Group. This

name must be a unique 16-character long string which consists of a

combination of alphabetic characters (a-z or A-Z) or integers (0-9).

:

Traffic which matches IP Protocol Ethernet Frames is mapped to the

VLAN (VLAN 1 by default) that has been configured with the switch's

administrative IP. IP Protocol Ethernet traffic must not be mapped to

another VLAN or you will lose administrative network connectivity to the

switch. If lost in this manner, network access can be regained by using the

Reset button to restore the factory default settings.
