connection supports VLANs. Then assign ports on the other VLAN-aware network
devices along the path that will carry this traffic to the same VLAN(s), either
manually or dynamically using GVRP. However, if you want a port on this switch
to participate in one or more VLANs, but none of the intermediate network
devices nor the host at the other end of the connection supports VLANs, then you
should add this port to the VLAN as an untagged port.
VLAN-tagged frames can pass through VLAN-aware or VLAN-unaware network
interconnection devices, but the VLAN tags should be stripped off before passing
it on to any end-node host that does not support VLAN tagging.
VLAN Classification
When the switch receives a frame, it classifies the frame in one of two ways. If the
frame is untagged, the switch assigns the frame to an associated VLAN (based on
the default VLAN ID of the receiving port). But if the frame is tagged, the switch
uses the tagged VLAN ID to identify the port broadcast domain of the frame.
Port Overlapping
Port overlapping can be used to allow access to commonly shared network
resources among different VLAN groups, such as file servers or printers.
Note:
That if you implement VLANs which do not overlap but still need to
communicate, you can connect them by enabled routing on this switch.
Untagged VLANs
Untagged (or static) VLANs are typically used to reduce broadcast traffic and to
increase security. A group of network users assigned to a VLAN form a broadcast
domain that is separate from other VLANs configured on the switch. Packets are
forwarded only between ports that are designated for the same VLAN. Untagged
VLANs can be used to manually isolate user groups or subnets.
