A maximum of 15 protocol filters, each containing a maximum of six protocols, can be defined. On
products that use the Inferno chip set, all 15 protocol filters can be active and configured for use. On all
other platforms, no more than seven protocols can be active and configured for use.
NOTE
For more information on SNAP for Ethernet protocol types, see TR 11802-5:1997 (ISO/IEC) [ANSI/IEEE
std. 802.1H, 1997 Edition].
Deleting a Protocol Filter
If a protocol filter is deleted from a VLAN, the VLAN is assigned a protocol filter of
continue to configure the VLAN. However, no traffic is forwarded to the VLAN until a protocol is
assigned to it.

Precedence of Tagged Packets Over Protocol Filters

If a VLAN is configured to accept tagged packets on a particular port, incoming packets that match the
tag configuration take precedence over any protocol filters associated with the VLAN.
