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. 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.
