Table 4–43: VLAN: Port Settings
Field Value
Unique identifier for this port.
This is the native VLAN assigned to this port. When the port
receives an untagged frame, an 802.3ac VLAN tag is added to
the frame using the port's PVID. When a port receives a tagged
frame on an access port, the frame is discarded unless its VID
matches the port's PVID. When a port receives a priority-tagged
frame, the tag's VID is set to the port's PVID.
Default value = 1.
This is the port type with respect to VLAN operation.
• An access port is typically connected to an end station and
supports a single VLAN. When a port is set to Access mode,
the "Prohibited VLANs" field (which only applies to Trunk
ports) is disabled.
• A trunk port is typically connected to another switch and by
default supports all configured VLANs. When a port is set to
Trunk, the "Tagged?" field is automatically set to "Yes" and
the "Prohibited VLANs" field is enabled.
Default value = Access
