VLANs on the ELS10-27MDU
IEEE 802.1Q is a standard for virtual bridged local area networks 
(VLANs). It provides an alternate method for forwarding packets through 
a switch. In an 802.1D (Spanning Tree) bridge, packets are forwarded in 
accordance with the spanning tree as dynamically created by the 802.1D 
protocol Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs), and the spanning tree state 
of each port. In 802.1Q, in addition to spanning tree, packets are 
forwarded in accordance with a VLAN tag that is embedded in the packet, 
and the set of ports registered for that VLAN. A set of rules is used for 
ingress (receipt), forwarding, and egress (transmit).
The ELS10-27MDU provides support for port based VLANs. 
The ingress rules deal with the reception of tagged and untagged packets 
and the decision to either drop them, or forward them to the forwarding 
process. 
The forwarding rules deal with forwarding packets utilizing topology 
restrictions, the filtering database, queue frames (not supported), map 
priorities (not supported), and recalculation of the FCS. The forward/
filtering database can contain three types of entries:
Permanent entries
Static entries
Dynamic entries
Dynamic entries are created by the protocols supported by the switch 
(GVRP). There will be no learning of VLANs outside of this protocol.
The egress rules deal with whether the destination port(s) are members of 
the VLAN, and whether the VLAN tag is to be stripped.
802.1Q does NOT replace 802.1D, but limits the relaying of packets on the 
spanning tree to a subset. The subset being the members of a particular 
VLAN. This is determined by comparing the VLAN ID, which is held 
within the tag, to the ports which are members of that VLAN. The 
maximum number of VLANs supported in 802.1Q is 32.
