Chapter 4: Examples

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.
