1. Packet enters the PHY in the line module and travels across the backplane before hi th S ireaching the Supervisor

2. Packet enters the Supervisor; IPP performs parsing of VLAN tag / header and stores the packet into Packet Memory

3. The stripped header is used to construct a Packet Lookup Descriptor (PLD) and forwarded to the VFE ASIC

4. PLD goes through L2 lookup. Spanning Tree state is checked. Packet MAC source and MAC destination coupled with the receive VLAN ID are looked up in the L2 Hash Table. L2 Lookup also determines whether the packet is destined for Router functionality
