Tag VLAN or Port VLAN?
What is the difference between tag and port VLAN? In a nutshell – the term port vlan is
specific to a switch and port VLAN assigns a specific port or group of ports belonging to a
VLAN. So when ports belong to multiple VLANs and they are specific to a switch, use the
Port VLAN to configure that. Port VLANs do not look for VLAN identifier (VID)
information nor does it manipulate the VID information. It thus works “transparently” and
propagates the VLAN information along.
