Ingress rules are applied as follows to all frame when they are received by the switch:
a
Frame Received
VLAN ID associated with the frame
Frame dropped due to its tagged/untagged format
Frame dropped if the ingress port is not a member of the VLAN the
frame is associated with and ingress filtering is enabled

Egress rules are applied as follows to all frames when they are transmitted by the switch.

Forbidden Ports List
Each VLAN can be configured to exclude ports from membership in the VLAN using the forbidden ports list. For

Section 5.2.1.7
VLAN-Aware and VLAN-Unaware Modes
The native operation mode for an IEEE 802.1Q compliant switch is VLAN-aware. Even if a specific network
architecture does not use VLANs, ROS's default VLAN settings allow the switch to still operate in a VLAN-aware
mode, while providing functionality required for almost any network application. However, the IEEE 802.1Q
standard defines a set of rules that must be followed by all VLAN-aware switches:
• Valid VIDs are within the range of 1 to 4094. VIDs equal to 0 or 4095 are invalid.
• Each frame ingressing a VLAN-aware switch is associated with a valid VID.
• Each frame egressing a VLAN-aware switch is either untagged or tagged with a valid VID. Priority-tagged
frames with an invalid VID will never sent out by a VLAN-aware switch.
NOTE
Some applications have requirements conflicting with IEEE 802.Q1 native mode of operation. For
example, some applications explicitly require priority-tagged frames to be received by end devices.
To avoid conflicts and provide full compatibility with legacy (VLAN-unaware) devices, ROS can be
configured to work in VLAN-unaware mode.
In that mode:
• Frames ingressing a VLAN-unaware device are not associated with any VLAN
• Frames egressing a VLAN-unaware device are sent out unmodified (i.e. in the same untagged,
802.1Q-tagged or priority-tagged format as they were received)
