VLan not VLanning on GS728TP
Have several cameras which I'd like to put on their own vlan. And I have a server that handles those camers, which I'd like on the camera vlan and default vlan. I find that the GS728TP has 3 default v...

Here is how it should be configured as shown in the image below provided that all devices are within the same subnet:About port 3 where the camera server is connected on VLAN 4, it should be set as untagged (U) with PVID 4. It should also be set as untagged (U) on VLAN 5 to have communication to the cameras connected to ports 14, 16, 18 and 20.
For ports 14, 16, 18 and 20, it should be set as untagged (U) with PVID = 5. These ports should also be set as untagged (U) on VLAN 4 in order for the camera server to have access to the cameras.
About port 23, I did not know that it is the LAN printer. Port 23 should be on VLAN 4, untagged (U) and PVID = 4.
About port 2, you may set it as a member of VLAN 4 (if ever you want it in VLAN 4) set as untagged (U) with PVID = 4.
You can use the default Voice VLAN for IP phones wherein an IP phone is detected by its OID (Object Identifier) and segment all voice traffic.
About the default Auto-Video VLAN, you can use it applications that run multicast traffic.

Just to verify. Kindly answer the questions below:
a. Were you able to perform the steps I suggested to isolate the problem?
b. Do the PCs get a valid IP address in either VLAN 4 or VLAN 5 as you proceed with the steps given? If not, kindly set a static IP address on the PCs that is within the IP range of VLAN 4 and VLAN 5.
c. Did you set up Asymmetrical VLAN?
d. Have you already opened a chat or online case with NETGEAR Support?

a. I had to modify your steps as I have only 3 servers, 2 of which are mission-critical. So I used the non-mission-critical (cameras) server, and the cameras.
b. We do not use DHCP, we use static IP, and I made no changes to the IP addresses when I put the cameras and camera server on vlan5. When all on vlan1, all systems can see one another. When I put the cameras server on vlans 4 & 5, it disappears from the other systems. And from the cameras server I cannot ping the cameras.
c. I did exactly as I described above, which should be asymmetric vlan.
d. Support costs money, and this appears to me to be a defect in the firmware of the device, which is not my fault.
