Protocol-based VLANs enable you to define packet filters that the switch can use as the matching criteria to determine if a particular packet belongs to a particular VLAN.
After you create the protocol, you must configure it using the configure protocol command. To assign it to a VLAN, use the configure {vlan} vlan_name protocol {filter} filter_name command.
The following command creates a protocol named "my_filter", and a protocol filter named "my_other_filter":
create protocol “my_filter” create protocol filter “my_other_filter”
