IPX
When combining IPX VLANs with other VLANs on the same physical port, it may be
necessary to assign a protocol filter to the VLAN. This is especially true if it is not
possible to use 802.1Q VLAN tagging. For convenience, IPX-specific protocol filters
have been defined and named in the default configuration of the switch. Each filter is
associated with a protocol encapsulation type. The IPX-specific protocol filters and the
associated encapsulation type of each are described in Table 1 5-2.
It is not possible to define a protocol-sensitive VLAN for filtering the IPX
enet_8023
encapsulation type. Instead, use a protocol-sensitive filter on the other VLANs that
share the same ports, leaving the
enet_8023
encapsulation VLAN configured using the
any
protocol.
