Ethernet Virtual LAN Overview

Common Virtual LAN type

§ Port-Based VLAN
§ Protocol-Based VLAN
§ Hybrid VLAN
§ Voice VLAN

Where Port-Based VLAN (dot1Q) was the most common technology

used on Ethernet switch application.

Port-Base VLAN (802.1Q Data Frame)

Tag protocol identifier (TPID)
The fixed value is 0x8100, indicating that
the frame carries the 802.1Q tag
information.
Tag control information (TCI)
Priority: It has three bits. It indicates the
priority.
Canonical format indicator: It has one bit.
It indicates the bus Ethernet, FDDI, and
token ring network.
VlanID: It has 12 bits. It indicates the VID,
ranging from 1 to 4094.

802.1Q workflow:
Ø The Trunk port forwards all the VLAN data on the switch by default.
Ø Before forwarding data over the Trunk port, the switch adds the tags to the data.
Ø After the data reaches the peer end, the peer end switch removes the tags.

VLAN traffic (Native VLAN) without the VLAN tag

802.1Q workflow:
Ø The Native VLAN is used to achieve compatibility with devices that do not support 802.1Q
frames.
Ø 802.1Q does not tag frames from the Native VLAN, By default, Native VLAN = Default VLAN
= VLAN1
