Can you, or someone, let me know why you use the * (PVID)? I asked above "I read somewhere that using PVID is unnecessary if you only have one u on a given port, so that's why I didn't use it. It's no problem for me to add that, but am I only doing that so if I do have more than one u on a port in the future it will know which is the one I want the u traffic to go to?" So, is it correct that it isn't necessary in this limited use case I have, but good form and may be needed in the future, so just do it now? Or am I missing the point?

Good form. If you want to pursue advanced vlan topics and the absolute headaches that may result, you will use it. For 99% of use cases, * will be used on U* and if you have a tagged trunk vlan blackhole T*.
