Configuring the PVID of Untagged Ports

This procedure adjusts a port’s VID value. The PVID value determines the
VLAN in which the port is an untagged member. A port can be an
untagged member of only one VLAN at a time. A port is an untagged
member of the VLAN whose VID value matches its PVID.

The ports of a new VLAN are initially designated as tagged ports by the
software. Their PVID values retain their previous settings when they are
assigned to a new VLAN. You must change their PVID values to match the
VID of the VLAN, if you want the ports to function as untagged members of
a new VLAN. This is explained in the following procedure.

You can also use this procedure to change the VLAN assignment of an
untagged port. With this procedure you can move an untagged port from
one VLAN to another by changing its PVID value.

To assign the PVID value of a port, perform the following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type A to select Advanced Switch

Configuration.

The Advanced Switch Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 16 on
page 70.

2. From the Advanced Switch Configuration Menu, type V to select VLAN

Management.

The VLAN Management Menu is shown in Figure 23 on page 107.

3. Type P to select Port-Based VLAN.
