    Hi @businessuer


    Thanks for reply.
    To answer your question:
    1. Step 1 and 3 will not overlap since step 3 is like assigning a port to a VLAN via the PVID you configured.
    2. According to the scenario you provided, the port with PVID 3 ends up to VLAN 3. Since your scenario has no VLAN 3, so there is no any VLAN 3 traffic even you put PVID 3. 

    Hope it helps.

    Ok but what if I also create vlan 2 and 3 in the vlan database?

    Let say :
    in step 1  create vlan 2 as well as vlan 3 in vlan database. 
    in step 2  make vlan 2 untagged but the original vlan 1 is also untagged.
    in step 3 make this port a PVID of vlan 3.

    Now what will happen? 
    What I mean is will step 2 and 3 overlap?
    Does PVID 3 or untagged 2 takes precedence?
    Why is vlan 1 untagged still there even though I create 2 and 3 ?

    The scenario will not take any effect still since you did not configure VLAN 3 to untagged a port. 

    Let me put in this way, refer to your scenario:
    #I use port 10 as an example

    VLAN 1, untagged port 10     |    port 10 PVID = 1

                ↓
                ↓ step.1 (Create VLAN)
                ↓

    VLAN1, untagged port 10      |    port 10 PVID = 1
    VLAN2,                                  |
    VLAN3,                                  |

                ↓
                ↓    step.2 (VLAN 2, untagged port 10)
                ↓

    VLAN1, untagged port 10      |    port 10 PVID = 1
    VLAN2, untagged port 10      |
    VLAN3, tagged     port 10      |

                ↓
                ↓    step.3 (Configure PVID 3 to port 10)
                ↓

    VLAN1, untagged port 10      |    port 10 PVID = 3
    VLAN2, untagged port 10      |
    VLAN3, tagged port 10          |
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    When port 10 receives packets, the behavior will be:
    untagged packets → assign to VLAN 3
    tagged     packets → assign to VLAN 1 and 2

    When port 10 sends packets out, the behavior will be:
    VLAN 3           → tagged packet out
    VLAN 1 and 2 → untagged packet out


    For your question:
    What I mean is will step 2 and 3 overlap?
    Step 2 and 3 will not overlap.

    Does PVID 3 or untagged 2 takes precedence?
    PVID takes higher priority

    Dont understand this.

    Send is egress and receive is ingress?

    Yes, exactly. 

    Is there anything unclear so far?
