Switch Ethernet Ports can work in three kinds of modes: Access, Hybrid and Trunk with each
mode having a different processing method in forwarding the packets with tagged or untagged.
The ports of Access type only belong to one VLAN, usually they are used to connect the ports
of the computer.
The ports of Trunk type allow multi-VLANs to pass, receive and send the packets of
multi-VLANs. Usually they are used to connect between the switches.
The ports of Hybrid type allow multi-VLANs to pass, receive and send the packets of
multi-VLANs. They can be used to connect between the switches, or to a computer of the user.
Hybrid ports and Trunk ports receive the data with the same process method, but send the
data with a different method: Hybrid ports can send the packets of multi-VLANs without the
VLAN tag, while Trunk ports send the packets of multi-VLANs with the VLAN tag except the
port native VLAN.
The switch implements VLAN and GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) which are
defined by 802.1Q. The chapter will explain the use and the configuration of VLAN and GVRP
in details.
