3.2.2.5 Inter VLAN Group Routing
In Port-based tagging, the administrator can specify member hosts of one VLAN group to be able to communicate with the
ones in another VLAN group or not. This is a communication pair and one VLAN group can join many communication pairs.
However, A can communicate with B, and B can communicate with C, but that doesn’t mean that A can communicate with C.
An example is shown in the following diagram: VLAN groups 1 and 2 can access each other but the ones between VLAN ID 1
and VLAN ID 3 and between VLAN ID 2 and VLAN ID 3 cannot.
