I am trying to understand the details of how the SEA defaultid differs from the Virtual Adapter PVID. It seems to make sense when I look at examples where a switch's PVID is extended into the internal VLAN and I have seen examples where bogus defaultid/PVIDs have been used to break the VLAN forwarding so that the switch's default VLAN does not get into the internal VLAN and vise versa. The question is, when are the two applied to a packet? My guess would be that the SEA's defaultid is applied to inbound packets and the Virtual Adapter's PVID is applied to packets leaving the internal switch. I do not see a good explanation of this in any manual or document I have found. Can anyone point me to these details?
