20.2.5 The VLAN Po rt Sc re e n
Port-based VLANs are VLANs where the packet forwarding decision is based on the destination MAC
address and its associated port. Port-based VLANs require allowed outgoing ports to be defined for
each port. Therefore, if you wish to allow two subscriber ports to talk to each other, for example,
between conference rooms in a hotel, you must define the egress (an egress port is an outgoing port,
that is, a port through which a data packet leaves) for both ports. Port-based VLANs are specific only to
the Switch on which they were created.
