4-2-5. PVID Configuration
 
 
Function name: 
PVID Configuration 
Function description: 
In VLAN Port VID Setting, user can input VID number to each port. The range 
of VID number is from 1 to 4094. User also can choose ingress filtering rules 
to each port. There are two ingress filtering rules which can be applied to the 
switch. The Ingress Filtering Rule 1 is “forward only packets with VID matching 
this port’s configured VID”. The Ingress Filtering Rule 2 is “drop untagged 
frame”. 
Parameter description: 
Port 1-24: 
Port number. 
PVID: 
This PVID range will be 1-4094. Before you set a number x as PVID, you 
have to create a Tag-based VLAN with VID x. For example, if port x 
receives an untagged packet, the switch will apply the PVID (assume as 
VID y) of port x to tag this packet, the packet then will be forwarded as 
the tagged packet with VID y. 
Rule 1: 
Forward only packets with VID matching this port’s configured VID. You 
can apply Rule 1 as a way to a given port to filter unwanted traffic. In 
Rule 1, a given port checks if the given port is a member of the VLAN on 
which the received packet belongs to, to determine forward it or not. For 
example, if port 1 receives a tagged packet with VID=100 (VLAN 
name=VLAN100), and if Rule 1 is enabled, the switch will check if port 1 
is a member of VLAN100. If yes, the received packet is forwarded; 
otherwise, the received packet is dropped. 
Rule 2: 
Drop untagged frame. You can configure a given port to accept all frames 
(Tagged and Untagged) or just receive tagged frame. If the former is the 
case, then the packets with tagged or untagged will be processed. If the 
later is the case, only the packets carrying VLAN tag will be processed, 
the rest packets will be discarded. 
Note: If Rule 1 is enabled and port 1, for example, receives an untagged packet,          
the switch will apply the PVID of port 1 to tag this packet, the packet then will 
be forwarded. But if the PVID of port 1 is not 100, the packet will be dropped. 
Tag: 
This is an egress rule of the port. Here you can choose untag or tag. Tag 
means the outgoing packets must carry VLAN tag header, just tick the 
check box (
;
)
. Untag means the outgoing packets carry no VLAN tag 
header.
