changing my byPort vlan to byProtocol ??

Jul 13, 2007 1 Replies

I've got a stack of 3 switchers and some by Port vlans setup. My MACS are not able to use Appletalk I'm guessing because I am not using byProtocol vlans. If I hook my mac up to the old switches using byProtocol they work fine.



Can I somehow change the one VLAN to byProtocol from the current ByPort using device manager?



I see that my other byProtocol vlans are setup to use IP, and it seems to be working so I am thinking of changing the one byPort vlan to byProtocol and IP. Do you think this is my appletalk problem and can I chnage it using device manager.



thanks for any help



Hi, Ron

You can change a port base VLAN to a protocol base VLAN by Device Manager. Simply delete the port base VLAN and create a new protocol one as the standard procedure of creating a VLAN on DM.
