4. Type the PVID for the VLAN member ports you want to configure in the
PVID
field.
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.
