with the PVID (Port VLAN Identifier – see below). When a tagged packet exits the port, the
packet header is unchanged.
If the port is attached to a device that is not IEEE 802.1Q VLAN compliant (VLAN-tag unaware), then
the port should be set to U – Untagged.
If the port is attached to a device that is IEEE 802.1Q VLAN compliant, (VLAN-tag aware), then the port
should be set to T – Tagged.
Once you have toggled between Active and Inactive under State, press APPLY to make the additions or
deletions effective for the current session. To enter the changes into Non-volatile RAM, highlight Save
Changes from the main menu and press Enter.
Port VLAN assignment
To assign a port a PVID, highlight Configure Port VLAN ID on the IEEE 802.1Q VLANs Configuration
menu and press Enter:
Highlight the Configure Port from [1 ] to [1 ] field and enter the range of port numbers you want to
configure. Next, highlight the PVID field and enter the PVID for the VLAN's member ports you want to
configure.
Port VLAN Identifier (PVID) is a classification mechanism that associates a port with a specific VLAN
and is used to make forwarding decisions for untagged packets received by the port. For example, if
port #2 is assigned a PVID of 3, then all untagged packets received on port #2 will be assigned to VLAN
3. This number is generally the same as the VID# number assigned to the port in the 802.1Q Static
VLAN Settings screen above.
