4. Type the PVID for the VLAN member ports you want to configure in the PVID field.
PVID is a classification mechanism that associates a port with a specific VLAN and is
used to make forwarding decisions for untagged packets received by the port. For
example, if Port 2 is assigned a PVID of 3, then all untagged packets received on Port 2
will be assigned to VLAN 3. This number is generally the same as the VID number
assigned to the port in the 802.1Q Static VLAN Settings screen.
5. Highlight APPLY and press the Enter key.
NOTE: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM using
