VLAN not working on my GS324TP
Hi,
I'm quite new to VLAN so i might have made some really stupid mistakes, however i tried.
Anyway, I have a setup with a Edgerouter-X and a GS324TP Switch, with ER-X being in VLAN aware mode and has all the VLAN settings referenced in the following page
https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/115012700967-EdgeRouter-VLAN-Aware-Switch
DHCP: 192.168.20.0/24 | VLAN-ID : 20
I tested the VLAN with my laptop directly plugged to the port and NIC set to VLAN ID respectively, both VLAN and its DHCP are working.
Laptop DHCP assigned 192.168.20.2
Next, I followed this KB netgear wrote to setup my switch
https://kb.netgear.com/31026/How-to-configure-a-VLAN-on-a-NETGEAR-managed-switch
With router (trunk) port at 26 and target access port at 8
and... it did not work, even after setting both VID and PVID, no IP is assigned, I even tested with the method above and no IP can be assigned, rather it just shows WAN IP.
Did I do something wrong? Some help or guidance would be nice.

Complete unclear, except that you have on VLAN 20 on a trunk port on that EdgeRouter.
All we can help is that the trunk port (20) on the switch must be configured to VLAN 20 [T]agged, and no other VLAN membership, neither tagged nor untagged.
The access port (8) again must be configured for VLAN 20 [U]ntagged, PVID 20, and no other VLAN memberships.
How the WAN IP or that subnet makes it's way to these ports or to the switch at all - check the router config, and in case the WAN subnet coms in untagged, double check why this should be required. unless this is an excepted effect because of the WAN subnet and VLAN is required to be travelling the switch, figure out how and why this is the case, and on which port the WAN VLAN should be configured - and ensure the same VLAN does never reach the other ports where its not required.
Have somewhere what provides the Internet access "WAN" modem port linked through the switch, probably using the native VLAN (untagged) it's becoming very obvious why a WAN IP is assigned. Can't be the switch fault.

Thanks for the reply 🙂
Here's some photos for your reference
Port 26 is the WAN port, where it goes directly to the Edgerouter
Router is in VLAN-aware mode.
The port and PVID config.
Edgerouter settings
Still cannot get it working...
10 is abolished and is removed, however that raised another question
Since VLAN1 exists, Do i have to include it in the VID as shown above?
And if so, it is impossible to set port 26 without any other VLAN memberships
WAN port is tagged, as always, but public IP still comes when connected to port 8
Do i also have to tag the port 26(WAN) in VLAN1?
Management VLAN set to 20?
Different port plugged than the one configured?
