FIGURE 4–42: Ethernet: VLAN: Port Settings
The table below describes the VLAN parameters you can configure in the Port Settings
form.
Table 4–43: VLAN: Port Settings
Field Name
Field Value
Port ID:
Unique identifier for this port.
PVID:
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.
Mode:
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
