3.22.4 Port VID

The Port VID page is used to configure what PVID will be applied to untagged packets

entering the switch. Four different modes are supported in the way the tagged packets and

untagged packets are handled; they are Access, Private, Hybrid and Trunk. If using Access

mode the port will only receive untagged packets, if a tagged packet is found it will be

discarded. Ports running Access mode can only send untagged packets they can’t send

tagged packets. Ports running Private mode are the same as Access mode except private

mode ports can only communicate with Hybrid and Trunk ports they can’t communicate with

other Private or Access Ports. Trunk ports are used if you want to Tag all packets that are

sent out of the switch and Trunk ports will only accept Tagged packets. Hybrid ports are much

the same as Trunk ports except if the VID of the VLAN group matches the configured PVID

then packets that are sent out of the switch will not be tagged.
