Dynamix 8Ports 4-Band VDSL IP DSLAM User’s Manual V.3
Support Protocol-based VLAN
In order for an end station to send packets to different VLAN, it itself has to be either capable of tagging packets it sends
with VLAN tags or attached to a VLAN-aware bridge that is capable of classifying and tagging the packet with different
VLAN ID based on not only default PVID but also other information about the packet, such as the protocol.
IP DSLAM will support protocol-based VLAN classification by means of both built-in knowledge of layer 2 packet formats
used by selected popular protocols, such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk’s EtherTalk, and some degree of programmable
protocol matching capability.
