Figure 14-19. Example of Networked 802.1Q-Compliant Devices with Multiple
VLANs on Some Ports
The VLANs assigned to ports X3, X4, Y2, Y3, and Y4 can all be untagged
because there is only one VLAN assigned per port. Port X1 has multiple VLANs
assigned, which means that one VLAN assigned to this port can be untagged
and any others must be tagged. The same applies to ports X2, Y1, and Y5.
Note VLAN configurations on ports connected by the same link must match.
Because ports X2 and Y5 are opposite ends of the same point-to-point connec-
tion, both ports must have the same VLAN configuration; that is, both ports
configure the Red VLAN as “Untagged” and the Green VLAN as “Tagged”.

*”No” means the port is not a member of that VLAN. For example, port X3 is not
a member of the Red VLAN and does not carry Red VLAN traffic. Also, if GVRP
were enabled, “Auto” would appear instead of “No”.
