Protocol to Group Mapping Table
This page allows you to add new Protocol to Group Name (each protocol can be part of only one
Group) mapping entries as well as allowing you to see and delete already mapped entries for the
switch.
Setting Description
Delete
To delete a Protocol to Group Name map entry, check this box. The entry will be
deleted from the switch during the next
s
ave.
Frame Type
Frame Type can have one of the following values:
 Ethernet
 LLC
 SNAP
NOTE: When changing the Frame type field, the valid value of the following text
field will vary depending on the new frame type you selected.
Value
Valid values that can be entered in this text field depend on the option selected
from the preceding Frame Type selection menu.
Below is the criteria for the three different Frame Types:
 Ethernet: Value in the text field when Ethernet is selected as a Frame
Type is called etype. Valid values for etype range between 0x0600 and
0xffff.
 LLC: Valid value in this case is comprised of two different sub-values.
a. DSAP: 1-byte long string (0x00-0xff)
b. SSAP: 1-byte long string (0x00-0xff)
 SNAP: Valid value in this case is also comprised of two different sub-
values.
a. OUI: OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) is a parameter in the
format of xx-xx-xx where each pair (xx) in the string is a
hexadecimal value ranging between 0x00 and 0xff.
b. PID: PID (Protocol ID). If OUI is hexadecimal 000000, then the
protocol ID is the Ethernet type (EtherType) field value for the
protocol running on top of SNAP; if OUI is an OUI for a particular
organization, the protocol ID is a value assigned by that
