VLAN Configuration 3-27
3.8.1 Displaying the Current Protocol, VLAN ID, and
Port Assignments
In some instances it may be desirable to see which VLAN IDs and the associated ports that are
currently assigned to a particular protocol. To display this information, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Protocol field at the bottom of the screen.
2. Press the SPACE bar to step to the appropriate protocol.
3. Press ENTER. The screen displays all VLAN IDs and associated ports currently assigned to the
selected protocol.
4. If there is more information than the screen can display, use the NEXT and PREVIOUS
command at the bottom of the screen to display the information.
3.8.2 Assigning a Protocol Family to a VLAN ID
To assign all Ether Types associated with a Protocol Family to a
VLAN ID, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN ID field at the bottom of the screen.
Ether type
(Modifiable)
Enter the values of a new Ether type when CUSTOM is selected in
the Protocol Type field.The value 0x0 will display, which can be
modified. A protocol may have more that one Ether Type. Any Ether
Type greater than 05dc (hex) and less than ffff (hex) may be entered.þ
The maximum number of Ether Types configured per switch is 32. If
an attempt is made to enter more that 32, an error message, “ETHER
TYPE TABLE FULL” displays.
To enter values of a particular Ether Type, refer to Section 3.8.2.
NOTE: The list of Ether Type configurations is searched prior to the list of “Protocol
Family” configurations when a frame is received on a switch.þ This means that if Ether
Type of 0x0800 is configured on port 10 with VID of 5 and IP is configured on port 10
with VID of 6, the incoming frame will receive the VID 5 as Ether Types have priority over
“Protocol Family”.
