What is Tag Base VLAN

VLAN membership in a tagged VLAN is determined by information within the

frames that are received on a port. The VLAN information within an Ethernet

frame is referred to as a tag which contains the VID (VLAN ID). When the switch

receives a frame with a VLAN tag, referred to as a tagged frame, the switch

forwards the frame only to those ports that share the same VID.

PVID is a Port VLAN ID that will be associated with an incoming untagged frame.

This Switch allows totally 4094 tag base VLANs to be created.
