      A couple of question. One, is it possible to change the VLAN ID for the existing OPT1 interface? Right now it's mvneta0.4092 but I want to change it to mvneta0.1001 (in anticipation of having a .1002, .1003 and .1004). I don't see a way to change that. Is the only option to just delete it and recreate it? I can do that without a ton of effort but I do have it working right now so if I could just change the ID it would save some time.

      On a different note, I'm trying to understand the difference between an untagged vlangroup member and the swport pvid. I thought the PVID was generally the VLAN that is untagged on a port. What happens if I have different values in this setting? Which VLAN does an inbound untagged packet end up in? It also seems possible to configure multiple VLANs untagged on a port. What does that even mean? Again, what VLAN will inbound packets end up in? Just one? Both? Or is this just something you shouldn't ever do even though the config allows it?
