Advantages Disadvantages 
VLAN association rules only need to be applied 
once. 
Tags can only be interpreted by VLAN aware devices. 
Only edge switches need to know the VLAN as-
sociation rules. 
Edge switches must strip tags before forwarding 
frames to legacy devices or VLAN-unaware domains. 
Core switches can get higher performance by 
operating on an explicit VLAN identifier. 
Insertion or removal of a tag requires recalculation of 
the FCS, possibly compromising frame integrity. 
VLAN-aware end stations can further reduce the 
performance load of edge switches. 
Tag insertion may increase the length of a frame be-
yond the maximum allowed by legacy equipment.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Tagged VLAN 
 
Mapping Frames to VLAN 
From the perspective the VLAN-aware devices, the distinguishing characteristic of a 
VLAN is the means used to map a given frame to that VLAN. In the case of tagged frame, 
the mapping is simple – the tag contains the VLAN identifier for the frame, and the frame 
is assumed to belong to the indicated VLAN. That’s all there is to it. 
To configure the tagged VLAN, use the following command. 
Command Mode 
Description 
vlan add
 VLANS PORTS tagged Bridge
