Configure Protocol-Based VLAN Groups

You can use a protocol-based VLAN to define filtering criteria for untagged packets. By
default, if you do not configure any port-based (IEEE 802.1Q) or protocol-based VLANs,
untagged packets are assigned to VLAN 1. You can override this behavior by defining either
port-based VLANs or protocol-based VLANs, or both. Tagged packets are always handled
according to the IEEE 802.1Q standard and are not included in protocol-based VLANs.
If you assign a port to a protocol-based VLAN for a specific protocol, untagged frames that
arrive on that port for that protocol are assigned the protocol-based VLAN ID. Untagged
frames that arrive on the port for other protocols are assigned the port VLAN ID, either the
default PVID (1) or a PVID you specifically assigned to the port (see
Settings on page 118).
You define a protocol-based VLAN by creating a group. Each group forms a one-to-one
relationship with a VLAN ID, can include one to three protocol definitions, and can include
multiple ports. When you create a group, you specify a name and a group ID is assigned
automatically.

To configure a protocol-based VLAN group:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see
Switch on page 11.
Your web browser might display a security message, which you can ignore. For more
information, see
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch's password in the Password field.
The default password is password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Switching> VLAN > Advanced > Protocol Based VLAN Group Configuration.
6. In the Group ID field, enter a number to identify the group.
The number must be in the range from 1 to 128.
