4. 802.1Q VLAN
Tagged VLAN
As defined in IEEE 802.1Q, a four-byte VLAN tag is inserted after the DA&SA field to identify frames of different
VLANs.
TPID: The 16-bit TPID field with a value of 0x8100 indicates that the frame is VLAN-tagged.
Priority: The 3-bit priority field indicates the 802.1p priority of the frame.
CFI: The 1-bit CFI field specifies whether the MAC addresses are encapsulated in the standard format. A value of
0 indicates that MAC addresses are encapsulated in the standard format. A value of 1 indicates that MAC addresses
are encapsulated in a non-standard format. For Ethernet switches, it is advisable to set this value to 0.
VID: The 12-bit VLAN ID field identifies the VLAN that the frame belongs to. The VLAN ID range is 0 to 4095.
Because 0 and 4095 are reserved, a VLAN ID actually ranges from 1 to 4094.
