Mapping Protocols to VLANs
Map a protocol group to a VLAN for each interface that will participate in
the group.
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 3-194) or VLAN
Static Membership by Port menu (page 3-196), 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.
