CHAPTER 4: VLAN MANAGEMENT
Parameter description:
Frame Type: Frame Type can have one of the following values:
1. Ethernet
2. LLC
3. SNAP
NOTE: On changing the Frame type field, a valid value of the following text field will vary depending on the new frame type
you selected.
Value: A valid value that can be entered in this text field depends on the option selected from the preceding Frame Type selection
menu. Below is the criteria for three different Frame Types:
1. For Ethernet: Values in the text field when Ethernet is selected as a Frame Type are called etype. Valid values for etype range from
0x0600-0xffff
2. For LLC: A valid value in this case is comprised of two different sub-values.
a. DSAP: 1-byte long string (0x00-0xff)
b. SSAP: 1-byte long string (0x00-0xff)
3. For SNAP: A valid value in this case also is comprised of two different sub-values.
a. OUI: OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) is a value in format of xx-xx-xx where each pair (xx) in string is a hexadecimal value
ranges from 0x00-0xff.
b. PID: If the OUI is hexadecimal 000000, the protocol ID is the Ethernet type (EtherType) field value for the protocol running on top
of SNAP; if the OUI is an OUI for a particular organization, the protocol ID is a value assigned by that organization to the protocol
running on top of SNAP.
Group Name: A valid Group Name is a unique 16-character long string.
