NETGEAR FVS318N manual Assign and Manage Vlan Profiles

ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N

When you create a VLAN profile, assign LAN ports to the VLAN, and enable the VLAN, the LAN ports that are members of the VLAN can send and receive both tagged and untagged packets. Untagged packets that enter these LAN ports are assigned to the default PVID 1; packets that leave these LAN ports with the same default PVID 1 are untagged. All other packets are tagged according to the VLAN ID that you assigned to the VLAN when you created the VLAN profile.

This is a typical scenario for a configuration with an IP phone that has two Ethernet ports, one of which is connected to the wireless VPN firewall, the other one to another device:

Packets coming from the IP phone to the wireless VPN firewall LAN port are tagged. Packets passing through the IP phone from the connected device to the wireless VPN firewall LAN port are untagged. When you assign the wireless VPN firewall LAN port to a VLAN, packets entering and leaving the port are tagged with the VLAN ID. However, untagged packets entering the wireless VPN firewall LAN port are forwarded to the default VLAN with PVID 1; packets that leave the LAN port with the same default PVID 1 are untagged.

Note: The configuration of the DHCP options for the default VLAN is

explained in Configure the IPv4 Internet Connection and WAN

Settings on page 26. For information about how to add and edit a

VLAN profile, including its DHCP options, see Configure a VLAN

Profile on page 59.
