Configuring port-based VLANs

Introduction

Port-based VLANs group VLAN members by port. A port forwards packets from a VLAN only after it
is assigned to the VLAN.
Port link type
You can configure the link type of a port as access, trunk, or hybrid. The link types use the following
VLAN tag handling methods:
Access—An access port can forward packets only from one VLAN and send these packets
untagged. An access port is typically used in the following conditions:
Connecting to a terminal device that does not support VLAN packets.
In scenarios that do not distinguish VLANs.
Trunk—A trunk port can forward packets from multiple VLANs. Except packets from the port
VLAN ID (PVID), packets sent out of a trunk port are VLAN-tagged. Ports connecting network
devices are typically configured as trunk ports.
Hybrid—A hybrid port can forward packets from multiple VLANs. The tagging status of the
packets forwarded by a hybrid port depends on the port configuration. In one-to-two VLAN
mapping, hybrid ports are used to remove SVLAN tags from downlink traffic. For more
information about one-to-two VLAN mapping, see
PVID
The PVID identifies the port VLAN of a port.
When you configure the PVID on a port, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
An access port can join only one VLAN. The VLAN to which the access port belongs is the PVID
of the port.
A trunk or hybrid port supports multiple VLANs and the PVID configuration.
When you use the undo vlan command to delete the PVID of a port, either of the following
events occurs depending on the port link type:
For an access port, the PVID of the port changes to VLAN 1.
For a hybrid or trunk port, the PVID setting of the port does not change.
You can use a nonexistent VLAN as the PVID for a hybrid or trunk port, but not for an access
port.
As a best practice, set the same PVID for a local port and its peer.
To prevent a port from dropping untagged packets or PVID-tagged packets, assign the port to
its PVID.

Remarks
By default, a VLAN interface is not
manually shut down. The following
guidelines apply to the VLAN interface
that is in default state:
The VLAN interface is down if all
ports in the VLAN are down.
The VLAN interface is up if one or
more ports in the VLAN are up.
