of a VLAN.

Figure 32: Example of a simple port-based VLAN
The example shows a minimal VLAN configuration (port-based VLAN).
An administrator has connected multiple terminal devices to a
transmission device and assigned them to 2 VLANs. This effectively
prohibits any data transmission between the VLANs, whose members
communicate only within their own VLANs.
When setting up the VLANs, you create communication rules for every
port, which you enter in incoming (ingress) and outgoing (egress) tables.
The ingress table specifies which VLAN ID a port assigns to the incoming
data packets. Hereby, you use the port address of the terminal device to
assign it to a VLAN.
The egress table specifies at which ports the Switch may send the frames
from this VLAN. Your entry also defines whether the Switch marks (tags)
the Ethernet frames sent from this port.
 T = with tag field (T = tagged, marked)

U = without tag field (U = untagged, not marked)
For this example, the status of the TAG field of the data packets has no
relevance, so you set it to "U".
