swProtocolVLANUserDefinedProtocol

Module: SWPROTOCOLVLAN-MIB

OID (symbolic): SWPROTOCOLVLAN-MIB::swProtocolVLANUserDefinedProtocol

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.16.1.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-create

Description: If the protocol type is protocol-userDefined(16), this value will fill with the user defined protocol type. This value will be ignored for other protocol types. The user cannot fill the pre-defined protocol type in this value.

These pre-defined protocol types are: 0x0800 PROTO_VLAN_IPETHER2 0x8035 PROTO_VLAN_RARPETHER2 0xFFFF PROTO_VLAN_IPX802_3 0xE0E0 PROTO_VLAN_IPX802_2 0x8137 PROTO_VLAN_IPXSNAP 0x8137 PROTO_VLAN_IPXETHER2 0x809B PROTO_VLAN_APLTKETHER2SNAP 0x6000 PROTO_VLAN_DECETHER2 0x6009 PROTO_VLAN_DECOTHERETHER2 0x0404 PROTO_VLAN_SNA802_2 0x80D5 PROTO_VLAN_SNAETHER2 0xF0F0 PROTO_VLAN_NETBIOS 0x0600 PROTO_VLAN_XNSETHER2 0x0BAD PROTO_VLAN_VINESETHER2 0x86DD PROTO_VLAN_IPV6ETHER2

What is swProtocolVLANUserDefinedProtocol?

This object holds a custom EtherType value from 0 to 65535 used to classify frames into this VLAN, but only takes effect when swProtocolVLANProtocolType is set to protocol-userDefined(16). It lets an admin define protocol-based VLAN membership for an EtherType not covered by the predefined list of IP, IPX variants, AppleTalk, and others, though the device rejects values matching those already-reserved predefined EtherTypes such as 0x0800 or 0x86DD. An admin classifying traffic from a proprietary industrial protocol using EtherType 0x88B5 would set swProtocolVLANProtocolType to protocol-userDefined and this object to 34997, the decimal form of 0x88B5.
