signals across the interface do not change. However, the VLAN type tag 0x8100 must be
supplied by the client to show the frame as VLAN tagged. The client also supplies the two
bytes of tag control information, V1 and V2, at the appropriate times in the data stream.
More information on the contents of these two bytes can be found in the IEEE Std 802.3-
2002 specification.

Maximum Permitted Frame Length and Jumbo Frames
The maximum length of a frame specified in the IEEE Std 802.3-2002 specification is
1518 bytes for non-VLAN tagged frames. VLAN tagged frames can be extended to
1522 bytes. When jumbo frame handling is disabled and the client attempts to transmit a
frame that exceeds the maximum legal length, the Ethernet MAC inserts an error code to
corrupt the current frame and the frame is truncated to the maximum legal length. When
jumbo frame handling is enabled, frames longer than the legal maximum are transmitted
error free.
