PVID
When an Untagged packet enters a Switch port, the PVID
(Port VLAN ID) will be attached to the untagged packet
and forward frames to aVLAN specied VID part of the
PVID. A packet received on a given port would be assigned
that port’s PVID and then be forwarded to the port that
corresponded to the packet’s destination address. If the
PVID of the port that received the packet is different from
the PVID of the port that is to transmit the packet, the
Switch will drop the packet. Within the Switch, different
PVIDsmeandifferentVLANs,soVLANidenticationbased
upon the PVIDs cannot create VLANs that extend outside
agivenSwitch.IfnoVLANsaredenedontheSwitch,all
ports are then assigned to a default VLAN with a PVID
equal to 1.
Note: To enable PVID functionality, the following
requirements must be met:
• AllportsmusthaveadenedPVID.
