2.10 VLANs<br />

The <strong>AR8327</strong> switch sup<strong>port</strong>s many VLAN options including IEEE 802.1Q and <strong>port</strong>-based VLANs. The<br />

<strong>AR8327</strong> sup<strong>port</strong>s 4096 IEEE 802.1Q VLAN groups and 4K VLAN table entries, and the <strong>AR8327</strong> device<br />

checks VLAN <strong>port</strong> membership from the VLAN ID, extracted from the tag header of the frame. Table<br />

2-18 shows the <strong>AR8327</strong>-sup<strong>port</strong>ed 802.1Q modes. The <strong>port</strong>-based VLAN is enabled according to the<br />

user-defined PORT VID value. The <strong>AR8327</strong> sup<strong>port</strong>s optional discards of tagged, untagged frames,<br />

and priority tagged frames. The <strong>AR8327</strong> also sup<strong>port</strong>s untagging of the VLAN ID for packets going<br />

out on untagged <strong>port</strong>s on a per-<strong>port</strong> basis.<br />

The <strong>AR8327</strong> also sup<strong>port</strong> double Tagging frame which is S-Tag and C-Tag. The <strong>AR8327</strong> can lookup the<br />

4K VLAN table by S-Tag or C-Tag depending on the configuration mode. There are also 64 entry in<br />

VLAN translation table sup<strong>port</strong>ing the VLAN operation.<br />

2.10.1 Port-Based VLAN<br />

The <strong>AR8327</strong> switch sup<strong>port</strong>s <strong>port</strong>-based VLAN functionality used for non-management frames when<br />

802.1Q is disabled on the ingress <strong>port</strong>. When FORCE_PORT_VLAN_EN is enabled, non-management<br />

frames conform to <strong>port</strong>-based configurations even if 802.1Q is enabled on the ingress <strong>port</strong>. Each<br />

ingress <strong>port</strong> contains a register that restricts the output (or egress) <strong>port</strong>s to which it can to send frames.<br />

This <strong>port</strong>-based VLAN register has a field called PORT_VID_MEM that contains the <strong>port</strong> based<br />

setting. If bit 0 of a <strong>port</strong>'s PORT_VID_MEM is set to a one, the <strong>port</strong> is allowed to send frames to Port 0,<br />

bit [2] for Port 2, and so on. At reset, the PORT_VID_MEM for each <strong>port</strong> is set to a value of all 1s,<br />

except for each <strong>port</strong>'s own bit, which clears to zero. Note that the CPU <strong>port</strong> is <strong>port</strong> 0.<br />

2.10.2 802.1Q VLANs<br />

The <strong>AR8327</strong> sup<strong>port</strong>s a maximum of 4096 entries in the VLAN table. The device sup<strong>port</strong>s 4096 VLAN<br />

ID range from 0 to 4095. The <strong>AR8327</strong> sup<strong>port</strong>s both shared and independent VLAN learning (SVL and<br />

IVL). This means that forwarding decisions are based on the frame's destination MAC address, which<br />

should be unique among all VLANs.<br />

2.10.3 VLAN Security<br />

The <strong>AR8327</strong> will check the ingress packets base on the VLAN operation mode and decide forward or<br />

drop the packets. There are two sets of configuration. One is the Ingress VLAN Mode. Another is<br />

802.1Q Mode. The Ingress VLAN Mode is checking the ingress frame is tagging or not. The 802.1Q<br />
