CLI References

“protocol-vlan protocol-group (Configuring Interfaces)” on page 404

Command Usage

When creating a protocol-based VLAN, only assign interfaces using this configuration screen. If
you assign interfaces using any of the other VLAN menus such as the VLAN Static table
(

page 724

), these interfaces will admit traffic of any protocol type into the associated VLAN.

When a frame enters a port that has been assigned to a protocol VLAN, it is processed in the
following manner:

If the frame is tagged, it will be processed according to the standard rules applied to
tagged frames.

If the frame is untagged and the protocol type matches, the frame is forwarded to the
appropriate VLAN.

If the frame is untagged but the protocol type does not match, the frame is forwarded to
the default VLAN for this interface.

Parameters

These parameters are displayed:

Interface – Displays a list of ports or trunks.

Port – Port Identifier. (Range: 1-12)

Trunk – Trunk Identifier. (Range: 1-12)
