VLANs and Your Switch 69 identify which packets belong in which VLANs. To communicate between VLANs a router must be used. Placing a Port in a Once the information for a new VLAN has been defined, you can place a Single VLAN port in that VLAN. Creating an IEEE 802.1Q Tagged Link This method of tagging is defined in the IEEE 802.1Q standard, and allows a link to carry traffic for any of the VLANs defined on your Switch. 802.1Q tagging can only be used if the devices at both ends of a link support IEEE 802.1Q. To create an 802.1Q tagged link: 1 Ensure that the device at the other end of the link uses the same 802.1Q tags as your Switch, that is, the same VLAN IDs are configured (note that VLAN IDs are global across the network). 2 Place the Switch ports in the required VLANs as tagged members. 3 Place the port at the other end of the link as a tagged member of the same VLANs as the port on your Switch.
