Per-Port Static VLAN Configuration Options 
The following figure and table show the options you can use to assign 
individual ports to a static VLAN. Note that GVRP, if configured, affects these 
options and VLAN behavior on the switch. The display below shows the per-
port VLAN configuration options. Table 
2-4 briefly describes these options.
