802.1Q
Each VLAN in a network has an associated VLAN ID, which appears in the IEEE 802.1Q tag in the Layer 2
header of packets transmitted on a VLAN. The IEEE 802.1Q specification establishes a standard method
for tagging Ethernet frames with VLAN membership information. The key for IEEE 802.1Q to perform its
functions is in its tags. 802.1Q-compliant Switch ports can be configured to transmit tagged or untagged
frames. A tag field containing VLAN information can be inserted into an Ethernet frame. When using
802.1Q VLAN configuration, you configure ports to be a part of a VLAN group. When a port receives data
tagged for a VLAN group, the data is discarded unless the port is a member of the VLAN group.
