IEEE 802.1Q VLANs

Some relevant terms:

Tagging

- The act of putting 802.1Q VLAN information into

the header of a packet.

Untagging

- The act of stripping 802.1Q VLAN information

out of the packet header.

Ingress port

- A port on a switch where packets are flowing

into the switch and VLAN decisions must be made.

Egress port

- A port on a switch where packets are flowing

out of the switch, either to another switch or to an end
station, and tagging decisions must be made.

IEEE 802.1Q (tagged) VLANs are implemented on the VH-
2402-L3 Layer 3 switch. 802.1Q VLANs require tagging,
which enables the VLANs to span an entire network
(assuming all switches on the network are IEEE 802.1Q-
compliant).

Any port can be configured as either

tagging

untagging

The

untagging

feature of IEEE 802.1Q VLANs allow VLANs

to work with legacy switches that don’t recognize VLAN tags
in packet headers. The

tagging

feature allows VLANs to

span multiple 802.1Q-compliant switches through a single
physical connection and allows Spanning Tree to be enabled
on all ports and work normally.

802.1Q VLAN Packet Forwarding

Packet forwarding decisions are made based upon the
following three types of rules:

•

Ingress rules – rules relevant to the classification of received

frames belonging to a VLAN.

•

Forwarding rules between ports – decides filter or forward

the packet
