Specify a Port PVID for an Advanced 802.1Q VLAN
A default port VLAN ID (PVID) is a VLAN ID tag that the switch assigns to incoming data
packets that are not already addressed (tagged) for a particular VLAN. For example, if
you connect a computer to port 6 of the switch and you want it to be a part of VLAN 2,
add port 6 as a member of VLAN 2 and set the PVID of port 6 to 2. This configuration
automatically adds a PVID of 2 to all data that the switch receives from the computer
and makes sure 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.
Note:
If you did not yet create an advanced 802.1Q VLAN, all ports are assigned PVID 1
and you cannot assign another PVID to a port. In this situation, first create an advanced
802.1Q VLAN (see Create an Advanced 802.1Q VLAN on page 60).
To assign a PVID to a port:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
switch or to the switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
