Multiple port tagging
Hello, I have a complicated question so please bare with me for a moment. I have an ESXi 6.5 host that is running a virtual Sophos UTM 9.4 appliance. I also have a Netgear GS108Ev3 managed sw...
Since you have confirmed that the PC where the ESXi 6.5 host which runs a virtual Sophos UTM 9.4 appliance is a VLAN-aware device, have you checked if tagging is enabled on the physical LAN adapter of the PC? Kindly check this link as a guide on how to check it on your PC.
Also, kindly post images of your actual network setup that especially shows the PC where the ESXi 6.5 host which runs a virtual Sophos UTM 9.4 appliance is connected to the GS108Ev3.

If ever the 2 physical devices are not VLAN-aware, ports 1 and 2 should be set as untagged ports on VLAN 2 with a PVID = 2.
Let me share this VLAN set-up example using a GS108Ev2 switch that I found online, click here and use it as a guide. Hope it helps.

Hi DaneA,
I did this:
I changed the VLAN for Port 1 and 2 to VLAN2 and then i changed the PVID to the same number. Interestingly enough, it completely broke the rest of the ports on the switch as well. I still haven't understood why but the whole switch stopped working and allowing any communication between any ports.
So i reset the switch.
Now i did this:
PVID for all ports is 1
VLAN1 is untagged to every port
Port 1: Tagged on 1,2,3 = ESXi host. i think this is the best option as the firewall is running there which is VLAN aware.
Port 2: Untagged on 2 = NAS running there which is not VLAN aware
Port 3: Untagged on 2 = NAS running there which is not VLAN aware
Port 4: Untagged on 2
Port 5: Untagged on 3 = Airport which is not VLAN aware
Port 6,7: unused on VLAN1
Port 8: Untagged on VLAN1: ISP router
So what is happening now, is that all devices are able to communicate with each other, which is not what i want.
I am assuming the next logical action is to turn the VLAN1 to "tagged" on the ports that i want VLAN2?
I am also assuming that i should not touch PVID but leave it as 1?
