Dell OS10 s3048-ON switchport general pvid equivalent

Hello Hatter, although PVID is a bit tricky for me. I started researching after seeing your post. I have to say that I couldn't find many relevant resources on Dell side. I would like you to take a look at the following article among the ones I've read https://dell.to/3tT5yR7

Hope that helps!

I would be blown away surprised if this isnt possible on a modern Dell switch. Another use case is when you ship a new device to your remote datacenter with an iDrac port, and its nice that all you have to do is tell them to plug it into the switch, and with the pvid set and dhcp it automatically comes online. No need to trunk, and im not going to access VLAN my router with it already having 20 trunked VLAN's.

Personally, I think what they should do is this...

Right now, on a trunk port you cant "switchport access" the same VLAN ID that exists in a "switchport trunk". But that should be exactly how they allow the "PVID tag/untag" to do its thing.

For example..

switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,20,40
switchport access vlan 10

If you access a port that already exists in the trunk, then it will not behave like a normal access port. The port will tag any ingress untagged packets with VLAN 10, and any egress packets received on VLAN 10 will be sent untagged (maybe restricted to edge ports?).

Just an idea.

It appears I was overthinking it.

Putting the edge devices ports in access mode allowed them to access the trunk ports on the router. I assumed it would drop them because they were untagged. Guess i need to go back to the fundamentals lol
