VLAN Tagging allows an individual port or interface on the IMG to be part of multiple VLANs. When configured, each outgoing packet is tagged before leaving the IMG with a VLAN ID tag compliant to IEEE 802.1Q VLAN specifications. The VLAN Aware Ethernet Switch or router extracts the tag and routes the packet into the correct VLAN Group. Feature F-5601 Support for VLAN allows a user the choice of whether or not packets leaving the IMG have a VLAN ID tag inserted in its header. Through the GCEMS application the user can specify the VLAN 16 bit Tag Control Information (TCI) that will be assigned to either each individual interface (CTRL/SIG/DATA) or each individual IP address. All packets leaving either the specific interface or with a specific IP address will have a VLAN tag with the TCI information inserted in the ethernet header.
