Figure 4-6 Transmitting to Bridge 4
4.The File Server responds with a unicast frame to User A. All switches between the File Server and User A have an entry in their respective Source Address Tables identifying which port to use for forwarding the frame to User A, MAC address “Y” in FID 3. All switches update their Source Address Tables for the File Server’s MAC address “Z” as the frame is forwarded through the switch fabric to User A. The 802.1D switches update their Source Address Tables based on the source MAC address and receive port and the 802.1Q switches update their databases based on the source MAC address, VLAN, and receive port.
5.The frame from the File Server is received on Switch 2, and forwarded to Switch 1 as a tagged frame classified as belonging to the Red VLAN. Switch 1 removes the tag and forwards the frame to Bridge 1, which in turn forwards the frame out of the port attached to User A. All subsequent frames between User A and the File Server are forwarded through the switch fabric in the same manner.
4.3EXAMPLE 3, 1D TRUNK CONNECTION TO 802.1Q VLAN NETWORK
This example illustrates the use of a 1D Trunk to connect a device to a network of 802.1Q VLAN switches.
In this example, a merger has taken place between the companies in the previous example, Redco and Blue Industries. The two companies have become divisions within a single corporation, Green Incorporated.
