Specify A Port Pvid For An 802.1Q-Based Vlan - NETGEAR GS750E User Manual

48-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch Model GS750E

Specify a Port PVID for an 802.1Q-Based VLAN

A default port VLAN ID (PVID) is a VLAN ID tag that the switch assigns to data packets it receives that are
not already addressed (tagged) for a particular VLAN. If you connected a computer on port 6 and you want
it to be a part of VLAN 2, configure port 6 to automatically add a PVID of 2 to all data received from the
computer. This step ensures that the data from the computer on port 6 can be seen only by other members
of VLAN 2. You can assign only one PVID to a port.
To assign a PVID to one or more ports:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using
an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see

The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch's password in the password field.
The switch's default password is password.
The Switch Information page displays.
5. Select VLAN > 802.1Q > Advanced > VLAN Configuration.
The Advanced 802.1Q VLAN Status page displays. The menu on the left displays more options.
6. Select Port PVID.
