What action does an access port take in the process of sending VLAN frames?

An access port is a switch port assigned to a single VLAN and used to connect end devices (such as PCs or printers).

Access ports do not send VLAN tags. They remove the VLAN tag before forwarding frames to the connected device because most end devices do not support VLAN tagging.

Option A (Incorrect): Tagged frames are sent only by trunk ports, not access ports.

Option B (Correct): The access port strips the VLAN tag before forwarding the frame to ensure compatibility with non-VLAN-aware devices.

Option C (Incorrect): VLAN tags are not exchanged between inbound and outbound ports.

Option D (Incorrect): The access port does not attach PVID information to the frame when sending it out.

Thus, the correct answer is B.
