Figure 4-8 Bridge 1 Broadcasts Frames
Figure 4-10 Switch 1 Forwards to 1D Trunk
Figure 4-9 Switch 2 Forwards to 1Q Trunk
Switch 1 checks the Filtering Database for the MAC address of User B. User B’s MAC address is located, and Port 2 is identified as User B’s location. The frame is then checked for eligibility and frame format for Port 2. Since Port 2 is a 1Q Trunk port, it is eligible to transmit frames for all VLANs. The frame is tagged and transmitted out Port
