Figure 7 Port-Based VLAN Assignment
As shown in Figure 8, the untagged packet is marked (tagged) as it leaves the switch through port 5,
which is configured as a tagged member of VLAN 2. The untagged packet remains unchanged as it
leaves the switch through port 7, which is configured as an untagged member of VLAN 2.
Figure 8 802.1Q Tagging (after port-based VLAN assignment)
In Figure 9, 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.
