Packets can go among only members of the same VLAN group. Note all unselected ports

capable of tagging packets it sends with VLAN tags or attached to a VLAN-aware bridge
that is capable of classifying and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID based on not
only default PVID but also other information about the packet, such as the protocol.
