D-Link DES-6500 - Switch User Manual page 77

Parameter Description
Unit Choose the Switch ID number of the line card in the chassis to be modified.
VID (VLAN ID) Allows the entry of a VLAN ID in the Add dialog box, or displays the VLAN ID of an existing VLAN
in the Modify dialog box. VLANs can be identified by either the VID or the VLAN name.
VLAN Name Allows the entry of a name for the new VLAN in the Add dialog box, or will display the VLAN name.
Advertisement Enabling this function will allow the Switch to send out GVRP packets to outside sources, notifying
that they may join the existing VLAN.
Type Displays the type of protocol associated with this VLAN.
Protocol ID The following parameters allow for the creation of protocol-based VLANs. The Switch supports 14
pre-configured protocol-based VLANs plus one user-defined protocol based VLAN where the
administrator may configure the settings for the appropriate protocol and forwarding of packets (15
total). Selecting a specific protocol will indicate which protocol will be utilized in determining the
VLAN ownership of a tagged packet. Pre-set protocol-based VLANs on the Switch include:
port – Using this parameter will allow the creation of a normal 802.1Q VLAN on the Switch.
ip – Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the
packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header information is based on the
Ethernet protocol.
rarp - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the
packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header information is defined by the
Reverse Address Resolution (RARP) Protocol.
ipx802dot3 - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag
in the packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header information is defined by
Novell NetWare 802.3 (IPX - Internet Packet Exchange).
ipx802dot2 - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag
in the packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header information is defined by
Novell NetWare 802.2 (IPX - Internet Packet Exchange).
ipxSnap - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in
the packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header information is defined by
Novell and the Sub Network Access Protocol (SNAP).
ipxEthernet2 - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the
tag in the packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header information is defined
by Novell Ethernet II Protocol.
appleTalk - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag
in the packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header information is defined by
the AppleTalk protocol.
decLAT - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in
the packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header information is defined by the
Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) Local Area Transport (LAT) protocol.
sna802dot2 - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag
in the packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header information is defined by
the Systems Network Architecture (SNA) 802.2 Protocol.
snaEthernet2 - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the
tag in the packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header information is defined
by the Systems Network Architecture (SNA) Ethernet II Protocol.
netBios - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in
the packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header information is defined by the
NetBIOS Protocol.
xns - Using this parameter will instruct the Switch to forward packets to this VLAN if the tag in the
packet header is concurrent with this protocol. This packet header information is defined by the
Xerox Network Systems (XNS) Protocol.
