Configure a Protocol-Based VLAN Group
You can use a protocol-based VLAN to define filtering criteria for untagged packets. By
default, if you do not configure any port- (IEEE 802.1Q) or protocol-based VLANs, untagged
packets are assigned to VLAN 1. You can override this behavior by defining either port-based
VLANs or protocol-based VLANs, or both. Tagged packets are always handled according to
the IEEE 802.1Q standard, and are not included in protocol-based VLANs.
If you assign a port to a protocol-based VLAN for a specific protocol, untagged frames
received on that port for that protocol are assigned the protocol-based VLAN ID. Untagged
frames received on the port for other protocols are assigned the Port VLAN ID, either the
default PVID (1) or a PVID that you specifically assigned to the port using the Port VLAN
Configuration screen.
You define a protocol-based VLAN by creating a group. Each group has a one-to-one
relationship with a VLAN ID, can include one to three protocol definitions, and can include
multiple ports. When you create a group, you choose a name and a Group ID is assigned
automatically.
 To configure a protocol-based VLAN group:
1. Prepare your computer with a static IP address in the 169.254.100.0 subnet, for
example, 169.254.100.201.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from an Ethernet port on your computer to an Ethernet port on
the switch.
3. Launch a web browser.
4. Enter the IP address of the switch in the web browser address field.
The default IP address of the switch is 169.254.100.100.
The Login screen displays.
5. Enter the user name and password.
The default admin user name is admin and the default admin password is blank, that is,
