Each VLAN in a network has an associated VLAN ID, which appears in the IEEE 802.1Q tag in the Layer
2 header of packets transmitted on a VLAN. An end station may omit the tag, or the VLAN portion of
the tag, in which case the first switch port to receive the packet may either reject it or insert a tag using
its default VLAN ID. A given port may handle traffic for more than one VLAN, but it can only support
one default VLAN ID.
