PVID Each port on the switch is capable of passing tagged or untagged frames. To forward a frame from an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN-unaware switch to an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN-aware switch, the switch first decides where to forward the frame, and then inserts a VLAN tag reflecting the default ingress port's VLAN ID, the PVID.

Page 172: Protocol Vlan
When an upstream frame is received on a port (configured for a protocol based VLAN), the switch checks if a tag is added already and its protocol. The untagged packets of the same protocol are then placed in the same protocol based VLAN. One advantage of using protocol based VLANs is that priority can be assigned to traffic of the same protocol.
