Bridge 1 Broadcasts Frames

3. Switch 2 receives the tagged Red VLAN frame on Port 2, as shown in

Figure 12-20

. 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.
