Specify A Port Pvid For An 802.1Q-Based Vlan - NETGEAR GS110EMX User Manual

8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Plus Switch with 2-Port 10G/Multi-Gig Uplinks GS110EMX
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. For example,
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.
The login page displays.
4. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
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.
You can select Port PVID only if you already enabled the advanced 802.1Q VLAN
option (see Create 802.1Q-based VLANs in an advanced configuration on page 31).
The PVID Configuration page displays.
7. Select one or more ports.
8. Enter the PVID.
You can enter a PVID only for a VLAN that already exists.
9. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
