Protocol-based VLANs 281
Selecting a Protocol
Suite
The protocol suite describes which protocol entities can comprise a
protocol-based VLAN. For example, VLANs on the Multilayer Switching
Module support the IP protocol suite, which has three protocol entities (IP,
ARP, and RARP).
Table 53 lists the protocol suites that the Multilayer Switching Module
supports, as well as the number of protocols that are associated with
each protocol suite.
