Assign Ports to Multiple VLAN Groups
Port-based virtual LAN configuration assigns ports on the selected switc\
h to a virtual LAN 
group. The number of VLANs that can be created is limited to the number of port\
s on the 
switch.
You can also create a basic port-based VLAN in which ports with the same \
ID are grouped  into the same VLAN group (see Create a Basic Port-Based VLAN on page  39).
Use the ProSAFE Utility to Assign Ports to Multiple VLAN 
Groups

Specify a Port PVID for an 802.1Q VLAN
A port default VLAN ID (PVID) is a VLAN ID tag that the switch assigns\
 to data packets it receives that are not already addressed (tagged) for a particular VLAN\
 group. If you 
connected a computer on port 6 and you want it to be a part of VLAN grou\
p 2, configure port 
6 to automatically add a PVID of 2 to all data received from the compute\
r. This step ensures 
that the data from the computer on port 6 can be seen only by other memb\
ers of VLAN group 
2.
You can assign only one PVID to a port.

Set Up Port Tagging
Port tagging allows a port to add VLAN ID tags to data packets sent through the port. The 
tag identifies the VLAN to receive the data.
You can set up port tagging in the VLAN Membership screen. The port check boxes allow 
you to select U (un tagged) or T (tagged) in addition to adding the port to the VLAN group. 
This step causes the data for an individual port to be tagged (associated) with a VLAN 
group.
