Step Operation Description 4 Create Protocol Required. On VLAN→Protocol VLAN→Protocol Template page, Template configure the protocol template practically. E.g. the Ether Type of IP network packets is 0800 and that of AppleTalk network packets is 809B. 5 Create Protocol On VLAN→Protocol VLAN→Protocol Group page, create protocol VLAN 10 VLAN 10 with Protocol as IP. Select and enable Port 3, Port 4 and Port 5 for Protocol VLAN feature. 6 Create Protocol On VLAN→Protocol VLAN→Protocol Group page, create protocol VLAN 20 VLAN 20 with Protocol as AppleTalk. Select and enable Port 3, Port 4 and Port 5 for Protocol VLAN feature. 7.7 VLAN VPN With the increasing application of the Internet, the VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology is developed and used to establish the private network through the operators' backbone networks. VLAN-VPN (Virtual Private Network) function, the implement of a simple and flexible Layer 2 VPN technology, allows the packets with VLAN tags of private networks to be encapsulated with VLAN tags of public networks at the network access terminal of the Internet Service Provider. And these packets will be transmitted with double-tag across the public networks. The VLAN-VPN function provides you with the following benefits: (1) Provides simple Layer 2 VPN solutions for small-sized LANs or intranets. (2) Saves public network VLAN ID resource. (3) You can have VLAN IDs of your own, which is independent of public network VLAN IDs. (4) When the network of the Internet Service Provider is upgraded, the user's network with a relative independence can still work normally without changing the current configurations. In addition, the switch supports the feature to adjust the TPID Values of VLAN VPN Packets. TPID (Tag Protocol Identifier) is a field of the VLAN tag. IEEE 802.1Q specifies the value of TPID to be 0x8100. This switch adopts the default value of TPID (0x8100) defined by the protocol. Other manufacturers use other TPID values (such as 0x9100 or 0x9200) in the outer tags of VLAN-VPN packets. To be compatible with devices coming from other manufacturers, this switch can adjust the TPID values of VLAN-VPN packets globally. You can configure TPID values by yourself. When a port receives a packet, this port will replace the TPID value in the outer VLAN tag of this packet with the user-defined value and then send the packet again. Thus, the VLAN-VPN packets sent to the public network can be recognized by devices of other manufacturers. The position of the TPID field in an Ethernet packet is the same as the position of the protocol type field in the packet without VLAN Tag. Thus, to avoid confusion happening when the switch forwards or receives a packet, you must not configure the following protocol type values listed in the following table as the TPID value. Protocol type ARP IP MPLS IPX IS-IS Value 0x0806 0x0800 0x8847/0x8848 0x8137 0x8000 82
