VLAN Membership vs PVID
Hi all, I'm new to managed switches, and just had a quick question... If I'm setting up multiple VLANs, I'm wondering what the difference is between the VLAN Membership settings (where you click on...
The PVID is used for VLAN which is run untagged on the switch port - and does define the VLAN where the untagged switch incoming traffic is associated to.
The PVID is used for VLAN which is run untagged on the switch port - and does define the VLAN where the untagged switch incoming traffic is associated to.
So, if I only have untagged traffic, is it ok to assign the PVIDs and the VLAN memberships 1:1?
ie. vlan 1 = ports 1-4 untagged, and PVID 1 for ports 1-4
vlan 10 = ports 5-8 untagged, and PVID 10 for ports 5-8
etc...

Excellent example! Yes, this will assign incoming untagged packets (to the switch) to the VLAN 1 for ports 1-4, and the VLAN 10 for ports 5-8. This will set-up the two port set's like independent switches.
