Protocol Based VLANs
Protocol based VLAN features help to classify incoming traffic to different VLANs based on the protocol.
The protocol or ethertype field in the Layer 2 header is used to classify the packets to different VLANs.
Protocol VLAN features are enabled by default in Supermicro switches.
The protocol based VLAN features configuration is a three-step process, as shown in the diagram below.
Figure VLAN-7: Protocol Based VLAN Configuration Steps
Follow the steps below to configure protocol based VLANs.
Step Command
Description
Step 1

Step 5
map protocol {arp | ip | rarp | ipx | novell |
netbios | appletalk | other <
aa:aa or
aa:aa:aa:aa:aa
>} {enet-v2 | RFC1042 | llcOther
| snap8021H | snapOther} protocols-group
<
Group id integer(0-2147483647
)>
Creates a protocol group.
Protocol group creation takes three
parameters.
First: protocol field as arp, ip, rarp,
ipx,novell, netbios or appletalk.
Users can enter any other two-byte
