Configure vlan security Netgear GS728TPPv2 M4100-24PoE+
I have run out of ports on my UTM which defines each subnet. Is it possible to have two different subnets share a vLan. My problem is that each subnet has several devices which have connections to ...

Hi Schumaku,
OK, I take the point and of course can all be done on UTM. It was just me being strange and wanting to do all the Vlan work on the switch rather than UTM and looking at rather neat solution which might have improved my knowledge base. (I know, it is still rather low!).
Will take the soft option and many thanks for your informative reply.
If I get stuck I shall start a new thread so saying thanks again.
Regards,
Alastair

On further examination of my problem I think one solution would be to use PVlan to form an effective subnet within the existing subnet. Having read the manual I believe there are some issues concerning the order and sequence for creating the PVlan and group. Is there a guide available please?

Each network, each IP subnet, requires it's own VLAN. One VLAN with two or more IP subnets does not provide ANY security or segregating between the subnets.
Plain normal VLAN with an IP subnet each. Configured on a single or multiple UTM ports (with all tagged VLANs, or all VLANs tagged except of one which can be untagged - to achieve a trunk connection, with the very same config on both sides.
Two IP sunets on the very same account does come with many issues and limitations. For example, DHCP can only work on a single network, for a single IP subnet.
PVLANs are used by service providers allowing to have multiple customers with their very own private VLANs - complete different story and requirement.
Almost completely lost on whatever problem you seem to fight with whatever different OSes. A decent browser allows to create a (My)NETGEAR Account on https://www.netgear.com/mynetgear/register/register.aspx - some information is required, but no WiFI or whatever device. In fact NO Netgear device is required to create a (My)NETGER account. FMI: How do I create a MyNETGEAR account?
This registration issue reads to me at least as odd as the initial question with this wild idea having TWO subnets on ONE VLAN expecting any security and segregation between these two IP subnetworks.
