The so-called Untagged Port and Tagged Port do not state the status of a physical port,
but the status of a certain VID owned by a physical port. Therefore, a physical port can
be a Untagged Port on one VID and a Tagged on another VID Port;
A physical port can only have one PVID. When a physical port has a PVID, it must have
the same VID as the PVID's TAG. On this VID, the physical port must be a Untagged Port.
The role of PVID is only when the switch receives a Untagged data frame from the
outside to add a TAG tag to the data frame. When the data is forwarded inside the
switch, the PVID does not play any role.
A physical port that has a VID that is consistent with the TAG tag can accept tagged
data frames marked with this TAG tag from inside the switch, regardless of whether the
VID is a Untagged Port or a Tagged Port.
