Configuring the Port PVID
This procedure adjusts a port’s VID value. The PVID value determines if a
port is a tagged or untagged member of a VLAN. A port is an untagged
member of a VLAN whose VID value matches its PVID. A port is a tagged
member of a VLAN whose VID does not match the PVID. (The PVID must
equal on of the port’s VIDs.) A port can be a tagged member of a VLAN
only if the port is a member of more than one VLAN at the same time.
When you create a new VLAN, the ports of the new VLAN are initially
designated as tagged members of the new VLAN. The PVIDs of the ports
retain the previous settings after the ports become members of a new
VLAN. If you want the ports to function as untagged members of a new
VLAN, you must change the PVID values to match the VID of the VLAN,
as shown in the following procedure.
To adjust 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 15 on
page 75.
2. From the Advanced Switch Configuration Menu, type V to select
VLAN Management.
The VLAN Management Menu is shown in Figure 21 on page 105.
3. Type S to select Set Port Config.
The VLAN Port Configuration Menu is shown in Figure 21 on page 105
4. Type V to select Set Port VID.
The following prompt is displayed:
Set PVID->Enter port number
5. Type the number of the port whose PVID value you want to configure
and press Enter. You can configure only one port at a time.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter PVID for port n
6. Type the new PVID for the port and press Enter. The PVID should
equal the VID of the VLAN where you want the port to be an untagged
member.
