Tagging and Untagging

Every port on an 802.1Q compliant switch can be configured as tagging or untagging.

Tagging: Ports with tagging enabled will put the VID number, priority and other VLAN information into the header of all

packets that flow into those ports. If a packet has previously been tagged, the port will not alter the packet, thus keeping

the VLAN information intact. The VLAN information in the tag can then be used by other 802.1Q compliant devices on the

network to make packet-forwarding decisions.

Untagging: Ports with untagging enabled will strip the 802.1Q tag from all packets that flow into those ports. If the packet

doesn't have an 802.1Q VLAN tag, the port will not alter the packet. Thus, all packets received by and forwarded by an

untagging port will have no 802.1Q VLAN information. (Remember that the PVID is only used internally within the Switch).

Untagging is used to send packets from an 802.1Q-compliant network device to a non-compliant network device.
