  • Native VLAN is a VLAN that carries untagged traffic. It is typically used for management purposes or to carry traffic that does not require VLAN tagging.

  • The native VLAN is often used on trunk links between switches to ensure compatibility with devices that do not support VLAN tagging.

  • Benefits of using a native VLAN include seamless communication with non-VLAN aware devices, and improved network performance.

  • Untagged traffic refers to network traffic that does not have a VLAN tag attached to it. It is typically used on access ports, where devices connected to the port are unaware of VLANs.

  • Tagged traffic, on the other hand, is network traffic that has a VLAN tag added to it. It is used on trunk ports to carry traffic from multiple VLANs.

  • Untagged traffic is used for devices that do not support VLAN tagging, while tagged traffic is used for devices that are VLAN-aware and can process VLAN tags.
