> # About Port VSAN Membership

> Port VSAN membership on the switch is assigned on a port-by-port basis. By default, each port belongs to the default VSAN. You can assign VSAN membership to ports using one of two methods:

> - Statically—By assigning VSANs to ports.

> See the "Assigning Static Port VSAN Membership" topic.

> - Dynamically—By assigning VSANs based on the device WWN. This method is referred to as dynamic port VSAN membership (DPVM).

> See "Creating Dynamic VSANs."

> Trunking ports have an associated list of VSANs that are part of an allowed list ( refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide).
