302 VLAN Concepts
• Implicitly
When a VLAN ID (VID) is set for a Port VLAN (PVLAN), static MAC address or IP interface, an appropriate VLAN is
automatically created if it does not yet exist.
• Dynamically
VLANs can be learned through GVRP. For more information about GVRP, refer to Section8.5.1.7, “GARP VLAN
Registration Protocol (GVRP)”

Section8.5.1.1
Tagged vs. Untagged Frames
VLAN tags identify frames as part of a VLAN network. When a switch receives a frame with a VLAN (or 802.1Q)
tag, the VLAN identifier (VID) is extracted and the frame is forwarded to other ports on the same VLAN.
When a frame does not contain a VLAN tag, or contains an 802.1p (prioritization) tag that only has prioritization
information and a VID of 0, it is considered an untagged frame.
