STEP 1

Click VLAN & Port Settings > VLAN Management > Protocol Port. The

Protocol

Port

Page

opens:

Protocol Port Page

The

Protocol Port Page

contains the following fields.

•

Interface — Port or EtherChannel number added to a protocol group.

•

Protocol Group ID — Protocol group ID to which the interface is added.
Protocol group IDs are defined in the Protocol Group Table.

•

VLAN ID — Attaches the interface to a user-defined VLAN ID. Protocol ports
can either be attached to a VLAN ID or a VLAN name.

STEP 2

Click the Add Button. The

Add Protocol Port to VLAN Page
