5-4-7-1. Port-based VLAN

In order for an end station to send packets to different VLANs, it has to be either capable of tagging the packets it sends with VLAN tags OR be attached to a VLAN-aware bridge. The VLAN-aware bridge must be capable of classifying and tagging the packet with different VLAN ID. The classification and tagging of the packets is based on default PVID and other information about the packet, such as the protocol.

The MIL-SME801P switch will support protocol-based VLAN classification by means of both built-in knowledge of layer 2 packet formats used by selected popular protocols, such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk’s EtherTalk, and some degree of programmable protocol matching capability.
