port
l
Adds a tag with the
default VLAN ID to the
untagged frame and
then transmits it if the
default VLAN ID is
permitted by the port.
l
Adds a tag with the
default VLAN ID to the
untagged frame and
then discards it if the
default VLAN ID is
denied by the port.
l
Accepts a tagged frame
if the VLAN ID carried
in the frame is
permitted by the port.
l
Discards a tagged
frame if the VLAN ID
carried in the frame is
denied by the port.
l
If the frame's
VLAN ID matches
the default VLAN
ID and the VLAN
ID is permitted by
the port, the switch
removes the tag
and transmits the
frame.
l
If the frame's
VLAN ID differs
from the default
VLAN ID, but the
VLAN ID is still
permitted by the
port, the switch
will directly
transmit the frame.
Hybrid
port
l
Adds a tag with the
default VLAN ID to an
untagged frame and
accepts the frame if the
port permits the default
VLAN ID.
l
Adds a tag with the
default VLAN ID to an
untagged frame and
discards the frame if the
port denies the default
VLAN ID.
l
Accepts a tagged frame
if the VLAN ID carried
in the frame is
permitted by the port.
l
Discards a tagged
frame if the VLAN ID
carried in the frame is
denied by the port.
If the frame's VLAN
ID is permitted by the
port, the frame is
transmitted. The port
can be configured
whether to transmit
frames with tags.
NOTE
Because all interfaces join VLAN 1 by default, broadcast storms may occur if unknown unicast, multicast,
or broadcast packets exist in VLAN 1. To prevent loops, delete interfaces that do not need to be added to
VLAN 1 from VLAN 1.
Intra-VLAN Communication
Sometimes VLAN hosts are connected to different switches, in which case the VLAN spans
multiple switches. Since ports between these switches must recognize and send packets
belonging to the VLAN, the trunk link technology becomes helpful in simplifying this solution.
The trunk link plays the following two roles:
