Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Command Line Interface
Setting the PVID for a Port
Port VLAN ID (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.
Characteristics of a PVID include:
•
•
•
•
•
By default, the PVID of all ports is the same as the VID of DEFAULT_VLAN, which is
equal to 1.
When a user creates an untagged 802.1Q VLAN and assigns a port, the PVID will be
changed to the VID of that 802.1Q VLAN.
For a tagged port, the PVID will be the same as the VID of the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN to
which this port was first assigned.
If the first IEEE 802.1Q VLAN to which the tagged port is assigned is deleted, the PVID
will change to that of the second IEEE 802.1Q VLAN to which the port was assigned.
The PVID of a port can only be set to a VID of a VLAN for which the port is already a
member.
Use the following command to set the PVID for a port or set of ports:
Command Description
vlan set pvid
port <portlist>
id <vlan_id>
