Specify a Port PVID for an Advanced 802.1Q VLAN
A default port VLAN ID (PVID) is a VLAN ID tag that the switch assigns to incoming data packets that are
not already addressed (tagged) for a particular VLAN. For example, if you connect a computer to port 6 of
the switch and you want it to be a part of VLAN 2, add port 6 as a member of VLAN 2 and set the PVID of
port 6 to 2. This configuration automatically adds a PVID of 2 to all data that the switch receives from the
computer and makes sure that the data from the computer on port 6 can be seen only by other members
of VLAN 2.You can assign only one PVID to a port.
If you did not yet create an advanced 802.1Q VLAN, all ports are assigned PVID 1
and you cannot assign another PVID to a port. In this situation, first create an advanced
802.1Q VLAN (see Create an Advanced 802.1Q VLAN on page 52).
Note
To assign a PVID to a port:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch or to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page displays.
3. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
