screen. If you assign interfaces using any of the other VLAN menus such as the VLAN

the following manner:
■ If the frame is tagged, it will be processed according to the standard rules applied to
tagged frames.
■ If the frame is untagged and the protocol type matches, the frame is forwarded to the
appropriate VLAN.
■ If the frame is untagged but the protocol type does not match, the frame is forwarded to
the default VLAN for this interface.
