6.4.3.2. VLAN Tag (Not in Clear)

The following diagram shows the packet format when it is a VLAN tag. The VLAN tag is encrypted together with the payload. This mode can be enabled through setting the PORTX_VLAN_CLEAR parameter to DISABLE. This example is showing a single VLAN packet format. In the case of a double VLAN tag detected in the packet, for example, SVLAN - CVLAN, only the outer VLAN tag (SVLAN) is put in cleartext. For a single VLAN tag, for example, CVLAN, the CVLAN tag is put in cleartext.
