Figure 7-11: Protocol Panel dialog box, Add Protocol page
2 Enter a descriptive name for the Protocol. The name must begin with a letter
followed by up to 31 characters. See the Summit Switch Installation and User Guide for
details on naming.
3 Select a protocol type from the pull-down list in the type column.
4 Type a corresponding four-digit hexadecimal filter value in the value field.
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to enter up to six type-value pairs.
6 When you have finished entering the definition, click Add to add the new protocol
filter to the Enterprise Manager database.
Note:
The protocol filter is now available to be used on any switch, but is not
created on any switches at this time. The protocol filter is created on a switch
only when you create or modify a VLAN to use the new protocol filter on that
switch. The database acts as a collective store for network data without
needing to replicate it on every switch.
