Support Protocol-based VLAN
In order for an end station to send packets to different VLANs, it has to be
either capable of tagging the packets it sends with VLAN tags OR be
attached to a VLAN-aware bridge. The VLAN-aware bridge must be capable
of classifying and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID. The
classification and tagging of the packets is based on default PVID and other
information about the packet, such as the protocol.
MIL-SM2401M will support protocol-based VLAN classification by means of
both built-in knowledge of layer 2 packet formats used by selected popular
protocols, such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk’s EtherTalk, and some degree
of programmable protocol matching capability.
