Protocol page, as shown in Figure 6-9.
.
Figure 6-9:
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.
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.
