Protocol templates include standard templates and user-defined templates:z The standard template adopts the RFC-defined packet encapsulation formats andvalues of some specific fields as the matching criteria.z The user-defined template adopts the user-defined encapsulation formats andvalues of some specific fields as the matching criteria.After configuring the protocol template, you must add a port to the protocol-basedVLAN and associate this port with the protocol template. This port will add VLAN tags tothe packets based on protocol types. The port in the protocol-based VLAN must beconnected to a client. However, a common client cannot process VLAN-tagged packets.In order that the client can process the packets out of this port, you must configure theport in the protocol-based VLAN as a hybrid port and configure the port to removeVLAN tags when forwarding packets of all VLANs.
