Configuring VLAN classifier rules
You can configure VLAN classifier rules to define specific rules for classifying packets to selected
VLANs based on protocol and MAC addresses. Sets of rules can be grouped into VLAN classifier
groups (see “Configuring VLAN classifier groups” on page 34).
VLAN classifier rules (1 through 256) are a set of configurable rules that can be categorized into
the following areas:
802.1Q protocol-based classifier rules
MAC address-based classifier rules
NOTE
Multiple VLAN classifier rules can be applied per interface provided the resulting VLAN IDs are
different for the different rules.
802.1Q protocol-based VLANs apply only to untagged frames or frames with priority tagging.
With both Ethernet-II and 802.2 SNAP encapsulated frames, the following protocol types are
supported:
Ethernet decimal (0 through 65535)
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
FCoE Initialization Protocol (FIP)
IP
IP version 6 (IPv6)
To configure a protocol-based VLAN classifier rule, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC
mode:
Step Task Command
1. Enter global configuration mode. switch#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per
line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)#
2. Configure a protocol-based VLAN classifier rule. switch(config)#vlan classifier rule 1
proto fcoe encap ethv2
3. Display the VLAN classifier rule. switch(config)#do show vlan classifier
rule 1
