The Ether Type and VLAN ID are inserted after the MAC source address, but before the original Ether Type/Length or
Logical Link Control. Because the packet is now a bit longer than it was originally, the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
must be recalculated.

Packets that are tagged (are carrying the 802.1Q VID information) can be transmitted from one 802.1Q compliant network
device to another with the

VLAN information intact. This allows 802.1Q VLAN to span network devices (and indeed, the

twork devices are 802.1Q compliant).

may be tag-unaware, a decision must be made at each port on a tag-aware device

before packets are transmitted – should the packet to be transmitted have a tag or not? If the transmitting port is connected
to a tag-unaware device, the packet should be untagged. If the transmitting port is connected to a tag-aware device, the
packet should be tagged.

Default VLANs

The Switch initially configures one VLAN, VID = 1, called "default." The factory default setting assigns all ports on the
Switch to the "default". As new VLAN are configured in Port-based mode, their respective member ports are removed
from the "default."

Base on the Switch chipset specification, the Switch supports SVL(Shared VLAN Learning) ,
all VLAN groups share the same Layer 2 learned MAC address table.

Tag-aware switches must keep a table to relate PVID within the switch to VID on the network. The switch will compare the
VID of a packet to be transmitted to the VID of the port that is to transmit the packet. If the two VID are different the switch
will drop the packet. Because of the existence of the PVID for untagged packets and the VID for tagged packets, tag-aware
and tag-unaware network devices can coexist on the same network.
