Propagating VLANs on a GS305EP managed switch
Hi, I have a Draytek 2765 and Netgear GS305EP. I am having difficulties in propgating my VLANs onto the switch. Any assisatnce or pointers would be really great. Thanks in advance VLANs ON ROU...
I have fixed it!!!! As I was walking over the fields this afternoon I realised that I I should have been setting the port with the Linux host to be untaggedand setting the PVID to the VLAN I wanted to be the default I want for that port. Now everything works as I want it to work.
Thanks v much for your assistance.
Great! This is what is named sometimes an access port for PVID x == one VLAN x untagged, PVID x, and no other VLAN memberships..

Thanks Kurt,
The light bulb moment for me was realising that you could have a number of VLANS tagged or untagged for a given subnet. Once I realised that the solution came easily. Now my fire TV has access only to my Raspberry Pi and the internet, which is how I wanted it.
Now I just have to figure out the management LAN so I casn administer all the hosts on the various subnets all from one place!

Great job!

Be aware most Netgear Plus switches don't offer a strict and isolated management VLAN - read with the right IP (and of course a system with an IP in that very same IP subnet) the device is reachable from any VLAN.
Thanks for the pointer. Really appreciate your guidance.. I have configured firewall rules in my Draytek 2765 to ensure no traffic between subnets except between hosts which I explicity permit. I am assuming/hoping that they take precedence over any weaker rules between VLANS in the Netgear. For me, the VLANs are just a means to an end, to ensure that traffic from SSIDs defined on the WAP end up in the subnet that I want it to go to. The hard controls are all around the subnets and implemented in the Draytek firewall.
