Example of System
With Tagging
The two-switch system shown in Figure 9-3 demonstrates the
use of tagging to create some VLAN groups that can
communicate with one another, and other groups that cannot
communicate. By studying the figure, Table 9-4, and the
descriptions that follow, you can learn the effects of tagging.
