Note: Traffic which matches IP Protocol Ethernet Frames is mapped to the VLAN
(VLAN 1 by default) that has been configured with the switch's administrative IP.
IP Protocol Ethernet traffic must not be mapped to another VLAN or you will lose
administrative network connectivity to the switch. If lost in this manner, network
access can be regained by using the Reset button to restore the factory default
settings.
The name assigned to the Protocol VLAN Group. This name must be a unique 16-
character long string which consists of a combination of alphabetic characters (a-z
or A-Z) or integers (0-9).
VLAN to which matching protocol traffic is forwarded. (Range: 1-4095)
Ports assigned to this protocol VLAN.
When creating a protocol-based VLAN, only assign interfaces using this configuration screen. If
you assign interfaces using any of the other VLAN menus such as the VLAN Static table (see the
Assigning Ports to VLANs section on page 118), these interfaces will admit traffic of any protocol
type into the associated VLAN.
When a frame enters a port that has been assigned to a protocol VLAN, it is processed in the
following manner:
If the frame is tagged, it will be processed according to the standard rules applied to tagged

frames.
If the frame is untagged and the protocol type matches, the frame is forwarded to the appropriate

VLAN.
If the frame is untagged but the protocol type does not match, the frame is forwarded to the

default VLAN for this interface.
