Manual IEEE 802 1Q VLANs Packets received by the switch are treated in the following way e When an untagged packet enters a port it is automatically tagged with the port s default VLAN ID tag number Each port has a default VLAN ID setting that is user configurable the default setting is 1 The default VLAN ID setting for each port can be changed in the VLAN Membership screen See Advanced VLAN Membership on page 4 12 e When a tagged packet enters a port the tag for that packet is unaffected by the default VLAN ID setting The packet proceeds to the VLAN specified by its VLAN ID VID tag number e Ifthe port through which the packet entered does not have membership with the VLAN specified by the VLAN ID tag the packet is dropped e Ifthe port is a member of the VLAN specified by the packet s VLAN ID the packet can be sent to other ports with the same VLAN ID e Packets leaving the switch are either tagged or untagged depending on the setting for that port s VLAN membership properties A U for a given port means that packets leaving the switch from that port are untagged Inversely a T for a given port means that packets leaving the switch from that port are tagged with the VLAN ID that is associated with the port The example given in this section comprises numerous steps to illustrate a wide range of configurations to help provide an understanding of tagged VLANs IEEE 802 1Q VLAN Example Configuration This exampl
