VLAN Support
Virtual Bridged Local Area Network (VLAN) tags are
defined in IEEE Std 802.3ac-1998. A VLAN tag is a
4-byte quantity that is inserted between the Source
Address field and the Length/Type field of a basic 802.3
MAC frame. The VLAN tag consists of a Length/Type
field that contains the value 8100h and a 16-bit Tag
Control Information (TCI) field. The TCI field is further
divided into a 3-bit User Priority field, a 1-bit Canonical
Format Indicator (CFI), and a 12-bit VLAN Identifier.
A frame that has no VLAN tag is said to be untagged.
A frame with a VLAN tag whose VLAN Identifier field
contains the value 0 is said to be priority-tagged. A
frame with a VLAN tag with a non-zero VLAN Identifier
field is said to be VLAN-tagged.
The format of a VLAN-tagged frame is shown in
Figure 32.
