Defining Protocol Filters

If necessary, you can define a customized protocol filter based on
EtherType, Logical Link Control (LLC), and/or Subnetwork Access Protocol
(SNAP). Up to six protocols may be part of a protocol filter. To define a
protocol filter, do the following:
1 Create a protocol using the following command:
create protocol <protocol_name>
For example:
create protocol fred
The protocol name can have a maximum of 31 characters.
2 Configure the protocol using the following command:
config protocol <protocol_name> add <protocol_type>
<hex_value>
Supported protocol types include:
— EtherType
etype

following URL:

— LLC Service Advertising Protocol (SAP)

created by concatenating a two-digit LLC Destination SAP (DSAP)
and a two-digit LLC Source SAP (SSAP).
— Ethertype inside an IEEE SNAP packet encapsulation.
snap
The values for
previously.
For example:
config protocol fred add llc feff
config protocol fred add snap 9999
A maximum of fifteen protocol filters, each containing a maximum of six
protocols, can be defined. However, no more than seven protocols can be
active and configured for use.
