Overview
Port-based VLANs group VLAN members by port. A port forwards packets from a VLAN only after it
is assigned to the VLAN.
Port link type
You can set the link type of a port to access or trunk. The port link type determines whether the port
can be assigned to multiple VLANs. The link types use the following VLAN tag handling methods:
•
Access
—An access port can forward packets only from one VLAN and send these packets
untagged. An access port is typically used in the following conditions:
Connecting to a terminal device that does not support VLAN packets.
In scenarios that do not distinguish VLANs.
•
Trunk
—A trunk port can forward packets from multiple VLANs. Except packets from the port
VLAN ID (PVID), packets sent out of a trunk port are VLAN-tagged. Ports connecting network
devices are typically configured as trunk ports.
PVID
The PVID (native VLAN) identifies the default VLAN of a port. Untagged packets received on a port
are considered as the packets from the port PVID.
An access port can join only one VLAN. The VLAN to which the access port belongs is the PVID of
the port. A trunk port supports multiple VLANs and the PVID configuration.
