2. Switch 4 receives the frame and classifies this new untagged frame as
belonging to the Red VLAN. Since the frame is a broadcast, it is
forwarded to any ports that are classified as eligible to receive Red
VLAN frames. Switch 4 also updates its Source Address Table for
FID 1, identifying User B as being located out Port 1.
On Switch 4, the only port eligible to receive Red VLAN frames is
Port 4, the 1Q Trunk. The frame is forwarded out Port 4 with the Red
VLAN Tag header being added, as shown in
Figure 4-8 .

3. Switch 2 receives the tagged Red VLAN frame on Port 2, as shown in
Figure 4-9 . The VLAN Tag in the frame is maintained, classifying the
frame as belonging to the Red VLAN. The switch forwards the
broadcast frame out all the eligible ports, Ports 3 and 4. Switch 2
simultaneously updates its Source Address Table for FID 1 to reflect
the location of User B (Port 2).
The frame forwarded out Port 3 has its VLAN Tag stripped before
transmission, and it is passed to Bridge 4 as a normal broadcast frame.
The frame that is transmitted out Port 4, the 1Q Trunk, retains its
VLAN tag.
