PVID 
PVID (Port Vlan ID) is the default VID of the port. When the switch receives an un-VLAN-tagged 
packet, it will add a VLAN tag to the packet according to the PVID of its received port and forward 
the packets.   
When creating VLANs, the PVID of each port, indicating the default VLAN to which the port 
belongs, is an important parameter with the following two purposes:   
1)  When the switch receives an un-VLAN-tagged packet, it will add a VLAN tag to the packet 
according to the PVID of its received port 
2)  PVID determines the default broadcast domain of the port, i.e. when the port receives UL 
packets or broadcast packets, the port will broadcast the packets in its default VLAN. 
Different packets, tagged or untagged, will be processed in different ways, after being received by 
ports of different link types, which is illustrated in the following table.

Access 
If the VID of packet is the 
same as the PVID of the 
port, the packet will be 
received. 
If the VID of packet is not 
me as the PVID of 
the port, the packet will 
be dropped. 
the sa
The packet will be forwarded after 
removing its VLAN tag. 
Trunk 
The packet will be forwarded with 
its current VLAN tag.   
General 
When untagged 
packets are received, 
the port will add the 
default VLAN tag, i.e. 
the PVID of the 
ingress port, to the 
packets. 
If the VID of packet is 
allowed by the port, the 
packet will be received. 
If the VID of packet is 
forbidden by the port, the 
packet will be dropped. 
If the egress rule of port is TAG, 
the packet will be forwarded with 
its current VLAN tag.   
If the egress rule of port is 
UNTAG, the packet will be 
forwarded after removing its 
VLAN tag.
