VLAN classifier configuration

The Management application supports VLAN classifier management only on Fabric OS (FOS)

version 6.3.1_dcb and FOS 7.0.0.

VLAN classifier rules are used to define specific rules for classifying untagged packets to selected

VLANs based on protocol and MAC addresses. The classified frames are then tagged with a VLAN

ID.

VLAN classifier rules can be categorized into the following areas:

• 802.1Q protocol-based classifier rules

• MAC address-based classifier rules

VLAN classifiers are created on per-switch basis. The VLAN Classifiers tab of the Edit Switch dialog

box allows you to create rules and group them into VLAN classifiers, which can then be applied to

access port and LAG VLAN members and converged port VLAN members.

NOTE

The VLAN Classifiers tab on the Edit Switch dialog box displays only on switches with Fabric OS (FOS)

versions 7.0.0 and later.
