Note: Protocol based VLAN applies to un-tagged packets and is applicable only when you
use IEEE 802.1Q tagged VLAN.
For example, ports 1, 2, 3 and 4 belong to static VLAN 100, and ports 4, 5, 6, 7 belong to static
VLAN 120. You can configure a protocol based VLAN A with priority 2 for ARP traffic received on port
1, 2 and 3. You can also have a protocol based VLAN B with priority 3 for Apple Talk traffic received
on port 6 and 7. All upstream ARP traffic from port 1, 2 and 3 will be grouped together, and all
upstream Apple Talk traffic from port 6 and 7 will be in another group and have higher priority than
ARP traffic when they go through the uplink port to a backbone switch C.
