VLAN Issue - Cannot provision VLAN's
Seasons greetings! I've had a JGS524Ev2, latest 2.6.0.48 firmware, since May of this year, and finally have a firewall that can easily support VLANs to go along with it. When trying to create a d...

Use a different browser, ensure no Internet security *** does interfere with the JavaScript code.
Never had to, but try to use the anonymous mode session.

Nothing weird here. Except that Netgear does just enforce us admins to get a halfway appropriate config to the switch - kind of a tedious click process I must admit. For correct 802.1Q VLAN (so leaving asymmetric VLAN configs alone which have not much in common with 802.1q):
- Create the VLAN(s) required
- Add the port(s) to the in the mode you want to the VLAN, being [T]agged or [U]ntagged
- Change the PVID to the VLAN ID you want untagged frames be assigned to, this is the only VLAN ID you intend to run [U]ntagged
- Remove the port(s) form the VLAN by changing the [U] or [T] to empty [_]
- Remove VLAN(s) no longer required
Thanks for the advice. This is my first time dealing with VLANs.
My main problem is that it seems the configuration doesn't actually get saved to the switch. For example, when I use the advanced mode for 802.1q, I'll add my tag under Configuration, then move to membership to add the ports to the VLAN. Once I click "Apply", the screen bugs out, and my changes are not applied when re-selecting the VLAN I was editing. If I use 802.1q Basic, it just seems to not do anything! If I add a port to say VLAN 10, I expect to get an IP from that VLAN, but will still get an IP from my LAN network. Yes, DHCP is running on each VLAN interface.

I'm now able to set a VLAN and get a DHCP address from the server. Thanks for your help! Sometimes the simplest fixes are the hardest to come by. ;)
