Is it possible to setup VLAN in this configuration?
s
Hi,
I have a GS105Ev2 and GS108Ev3 connected in my home network in the following configuration:
and was wondering whether it would be possible to use the VLAN feature to segregate parts of the network?
VLAN1 would only contain the CCTV NVR whilst the rest of the devices would be in VLAN2. Both VLANs require access to the internet via the router but neither need to access each other.
The main reason for this is that I don't want the works computer (or an other device attached to the router) access to the rest of the network.
The tricky part would be the WIFI connection to the laptop since the router doesn't support VLANs, I suspect this will not be possible.
The other question would be what do you configure the ports to? My limited understanding of VLANs thought that you need to configure ports as a trunk between the switches but there doesn't appear to be that option so is a VLAN across switches possible?
Thanks

Based from the topology posted, the ports connecting the GS105Ev2 and GS108Ev3 should be configured as tagged (T) ports with a PVID of 1. The end devices such as PCs and TV should be configured as untagged (U) ports with a PVID of 2.
Let me share the article below and use it as your reference:

The challenge is in the fact that this is not an industry standard 802.1q VLAN config. Muhc more, you need to configure a so-called asymmetrical VLAN, and you have to switches on a trunk config. For simplicity, I suggest to
- VLAN 1 as the normal network (Router on GS105Ev2, Port 1; port 5 for the VLAN trunk), and
- VLAN 2 for the NVR (GS108Ev3, Port 7; Port 8 for the VLAN trunk)
------------- GS105Ev2 GS108Ev3
------------- 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
VLAN1: u u u u u u u u u u u - u
VLAN2: u - - - t - - - - - - - u t
PVID: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1
