frame type indicates the frame format. The user has three choices for frame type:
Ethernet II
– Choose this parameter if you wish this protocol group to employ the Ethernet II
frame type. In this frame type, the protocol is identified by the 16-bit (2 octet) IEEE802.3
type field in the packet header, which is to be stated using the following Protocol Value
.
IEEE802.3 SNAP
– Choose this parameter if you wish this protocol group to employ the Sub
Network Access Protocol (SNAP) frame type. For this frame type, the protocol is
identified by the 16-bit (2 octet) IEEE802.3 type field in the packet header, which is to be
stated using the following Protocol Value
.
IEEE802.3 LLC
– Choose this parameter if you wish this protocol group to employ the Link
Logical Control (LLC) frame type. For this frame type, the protocol is identified by the 2-
octet IEEE802.3 Link Service Access Point (LSAP) pair field in the packet header, which
is to be stated using the following Protocol Value. The first octet defines the Destination
Service Access Point value and the second octet is the Source Service Access Point
(SSAP) value.
Protocol Value
Enter the corresponding protocol value of the protocol identified in the previous field. This value
must be stated in a hexadecimal form.
