configure vlan protocol

configure [ {vlan} vlan_name | vlan vlan_list]protocol {filter} filter_name

Description

Configures a VLAN to use a specific protocol filter.

Syntax Description

vlan_name Specifies a VLAN name.
vlan_list Specifies a VLAN list of IDs.
protocol_name Specifies a protocol filter name. This can be the name of a predefined protocol filter, or one you define.The following protocol filters are predefined: IP, IPv6, IPX, NetBIOS, DECNet, IPX_8022, IPX_SNAP, AppleTalk.

Using any indicates that this VLAN should act as the default VLAN for its member ports.

Default

Protocol any.

Usage Guidelines

If the keyword any is specified, all packets that cannot be classified into another protocol-based VLAN are assigned to this VLAN as the default for its member ports.

Use the configure protocol command to define your own protocol filter.

Protocol Filters

These devices do not forward packets with a protocol-based VLAN set to AppleTalk. To ensure that AppleTalk packets are forwarded on the device, create a protocol-based VLAN set to "any" and define other protocol-based VLANs for other traffic, such as IP traffic. The AppleTalk packets pass on the “any” VLAN, and the other protocols pass traffic on their specific protocol-based VLANs.

Example

The following example configures the protocol filter "my_filter" to vlan v1:

configure vlan v1 protocol "my_filter"
configure vlan v1 protocol  filter  "my_filter"
