VLAN Operation and Network Applications 12-5

Filtering Database

Identifier (FDB ID) Addressing information that the device learns about a VLAN is

stored in the filtering database assigned to that VLAN. Several

VLANs can be assigned to the same FDB ID to allow those

VLANs to share addressing information. This enables the devices

in the different VLANs to communicate with each other when the

individual ports have been configured to allow communication to

occur.

The configuration is accomplished using the Local Management

VLAN Forwarding Configuration screen. By default a VLAN is

assigned to the FDB ID that matches its VLAN ID.

Tag Header (VLAN Tag) Four bytes of data inserted in a frame that identifies the

VLAN/frame classification. The Tag Header is inserted into the

frame directly after the Source MAC address field. Twelve bits of

the Tag Header represent the VLAN ID. The remaining bits are

other control information.

Tagged Frame A data frame that contains a Tag Header. A VLAN-aware device

can add the Tag Header to any frame it transmits.

Untagged Frame A data frame that does not have a Tag Header.

Default VLAN The VLAN to which all ports are assigned upon initialization.

The Default VLAN has a VLAN ID of 1 and cannot be deleted or

renamed.

Forwarding List A list of the ports on a particular device that are eligible to

transmit frames for a selected VLAN.

Port VLAN List A per port list of all eligible VLANs whose frames can be

forwarded out one specific port and the frame format (tagged or

untagged) of transmissions for that port. The Port VLAN List

specifies what VLANs are associated with a single port for frame

transmission purposes.

Filtering Database A database structure within the switch that keeps track of the

associations between MAC addresses, VLANs, and interface

(port) numbers. The Filtering Database is referred to when a

switch makes a forwarding decision on a frame.
