Description

Configures a user-defined protocol filter.

Syntax Description

filter	Configures a protocol filter.
filter_name	Specifies a protocol filter name.
add	Specifies that you add a protocol.
delete	Specifies that you delete a protocol.
etype	Specifies an ethertype protocol.
llc	Specifies LLC protocol.
snap	Specifies SNAP protocol.
hex	Specifies a four-digit hexadecimal number between 0 and FFFF that represents: The Ethernet protocol type taken from a list maintained by the IEEE. The DSAP/SSAP combination created by concatenating a two-digit LLC Destination SAP (DSAP) and a two-digit LLC Source SAP (SSAP). The SNAP-encoded Ethernet protocol type.

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

Supported protocol types include:

etype—IEEE Ethertype.
llc—LLC Service Advertising Protocol.
snap—Ethertype inside an IEEE SNAP packet encapsulation.

A maximum of 16 customized protocol filters can be active at a time.

The protocol filter must already exist before you can use this command. Use the create protocol command to create the protocol filter.

Note

Protocol-based VLAN (Virtual LAN) for Etype from 0x0000 to 0x05ff are not classifying as per filter. When traffic arrive with these Etypes, it is classifed to native VLAN rather protocol-based VLAN.

Example

The following example adds MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) to "my_filter":

configure protocol “my_filter” add etype 0x8847
configure protocol  filter “my_filter” add etype 0x8847

The following example deletes MPLS from "my_other_filter":

configure protocol “my_other_filter” delete etype 0x8847
configure protocol  filter “my_other_filter” delete etype 0x8847
