Step  Operation 
Description 
Set the link type for

6.3  Protocol VLAN 
Protocol VLAN is another way to classify VLANs based on network protocol. Protocol VLANs can 
be sorted by IP, IPX, DECnet, AppleTalk, Banyan and so on. Through the Protocol VLANs, the 
broadcast domain can span over multiple switches and the Host can change its physical position 
in the network with its VLAN member role always effective. By creating Protocol VLANs, the 
network administrator can manage the network clients based on their actual applications and 
services effectively.   
Protocol VLAN, another way to classify VLANs based on network protocol, can bind ToS provided 
in the network to VLAN to realize the specific service. Through protocol VLAN, the switch can 
analyze the received un-VLAN-tagged packets on the port and match the packets with the 
user-defined protocol template according to different encapsulation formats and the values of the 
special fields. If a packet is matched, the switch will add a corresponding VLAN tag to it 
automatically and thus the data of specific protocol can be automatically assigned to the 
corresponding VLAN for transmission. The network administrator can manage network clients 
based on their specific applications and services through protocol VLAN.
