Chapter 3: VLANs
8342C4911, January 2007
In Figure 3-4, tagged incoming packets are assigned directly to VLAN 2 because of the tag
assignment in the packet. Port 5 is configured as a tagged member of VLAN 2, and port 7 is
configured as an untagged member of VLAN 2.
Figure 3-4 802.1Q tag assignment
As shown in Figure 3-5, the tagged packet remains unchanged as it leaves the switch through
port 5, which is configured as a tagged member of VLAN 2. However, the tagged packet is
stripped (untagged) as it leaves the switch through port 7, which is configured as an untagged
member of VLAN 2.
