GS305EP trunk ALL

I have a GS305EP PoE managed switch.  First of all, the switch GUI looks different from what I'm used to from other Netgear managed switches.

My question is, when I do Trunk, I have option to trunk 'ALL' vlans, but how do I trunk just 1 VLAN?

 

I know I can use access port to select a VLAN, but I want to Trunk 1 single VLAN.

 

Example:

On this 5 port switch, I have VLAN 1,4

So on port 5, which is my uplink, I have Trunk set to ALL so I get VLAN 1,4

But on port 4, I also want to do Trunk, but just VLAN 4, how do I do that?

Also, I'm able to get to the webui using IP address, but I'm not seeing this on the Smart Control Center.  I see my older Netgear switches. And this switch is on the same LAN as my older Netgear switches.

    Hi tonynsx,

     

    Just to confirm, have you referred to this KB article on section "Add ports to the VLANs"?

     

    As for the Smart Control Center, the mentioned software is already end-of-life and so we recommend using either the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility (download link here) or the NETGEAR Switch Discovery Tool (link here).

      Thank you, 

      It turned out I was using the wrong VLAN mode, it works now.

      Thanks for the switch discovery tool.
