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.
