Configuring Protocol-based VLANs
– 458 –
To configure protocol-based VLANs, follow these steps:
1.
First configure VLAN groups for the protocols you want to use (
).
Although not mandatory, we suggest configuring a separate VLAN for each
major protocol running on your network. Do not add port members at this
time.
2.
Create a protocol group for each of the protocols you want to assign to a VLAN
using the
command (Global Configuration
mode).
3.
Then map the protocol for each interface to the appropriate VLAN using the
command (Interface Configuration mode).
protocol-vlan
protocol-group
