❑
For each VLAN, remove the ISL port from the VLAN’s set of
untagged ports. By default, when you add a port to a VLAN, the port
will send tagged and untagged frames. Removing the port from the
untagged set configures the port to send only tagged frames.
❑
In most cases, configure the ISL port to receive tagged frames. A port
that is configured to receive only tagged frames will drop untagged
frames.
Once the port is configured as an ISL it will pass frames from switch to switch,
but it can act as a gate that passes only frames associated with specific VLANs.
Adding an ISL Port to VLANs
