Avaya Task Training/ERS-5500/Creating a VLAN

Two (2) types of VLANs can be created
 * Port-base VLANs
 * Protocol-base VLANs

Configuration changes are made from the configuration prompt. Test-Switch1> enable Test-Switch1# config t Test-Switch1(config)#

 * protocol-ipxEther2
 * protocol-decEther2
 * protocol-snaEther2
 * protocol-Netbios
 * protocol-xnsEther2
