Forwarding Tagged/Untagged Frames

Each port on the Switch is capable of passing tagged
or untagged frames.

The following describes how the Switch will handle
tagged and untagged frames.

When a port receives a tagged frame with a VLAN
ID and the port is a member (untagged or tagged)
of that VLAN, the frame is accepted. Otherwise the
if the port is not a member of that VLAN, the
frame is discarded.

When a port receives an untagged frame and the
port is an untagged member of a VLAN, the frame
is accepted and assigned to that VLAN ID.
Otherwise if the port is not an untagged member
of any VLAN, the frame is discarded.
