Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch Using the Console Management Interface

4.Type the PVID for the VLAN member ports you want to configure in the PVID field.

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 in the 802.1Q Static VLAN Settings screen.

5.Highlight APPLY and press the Enter key.

NOTE: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM using the Save Changes option on the main menu. Refer to the “Saving Changes” section earlier in this chapter.

Configuring Port Ingress Filtering

2.Press the Enter key. The following screen is displayed.

3.Type the range of port numbers you want to configure in the Configure Port fields.

4.Toggle between On and Off in the Ingress Filter field.

An ingress filter enables the port to compare the VID tag of an incoming packet with the PVID number assigned to the port. If the two are different, the port filters (drops) the packet.
