reconnecting a group of network devices to another Layer 2 switch. However, all the

network devices are still plug into the same switch physically.

Port-based VLAN

Packets can go among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected ports

are treated as belonging to another single VLAN. If the port-based VLAN enabled, the

VLAN-tagging is ignored.

In order for an end station to send packets to different VLANs, it itself has to be either

capable of tagging packets it sends with VLAN tags or attached to a VLAN-aware bridge

that is capable of classifying and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID based on not

only default PVID but also other information about the packet, such as the protocol.
