- Switch 1 has no inbound filter in VLAN 1. The global filter set to permit all.
- Switch 1 checks the outbound filter in VLAN 1. As there is no specific outbound filter, the global status is permit all. It will flood the packet in VLAN 1 except the source port.
- iPhone 1 in VLAN 1 receives the service announcement.
- Switch 1 checks the reflection status. Reflection is enabled on VLAN 2 and 3.
- Switch 1 checks the outbound filter in VLAN 2. As there is no specific outbound filter, it will forward the service announcement in VLAN 2.
