VLAN Network Segregation - GS108E

Hi everyone. I want to isolate my Guest WiFi access point from the rest of the resources on my network using VLANs. I think the GS108E (or GS116E) will do this. Please see attached diagram. T...

Just got my 16 port switch from Amazon:

NETGEAR ProSAFE GS116E 16-Port Gigabit Desktop Web Managed (Plus) Switch

Turns out it CAN be configured via web interface. Only needed to use the utility to set its IP address, then can do everything via web. I'm happy.

Thanks again DaneA.

The GS516TP seems to be more money than I’m interested in spending on this project. I can live with management via the Configuration Utility if I have to. But, please see this switch at Amazon:

NETGEAR ProSAFE GS116E 16-Port Gigabit Desktop Web Managed (Plus) Switch

It says “Web Managed” right in the title. Is that Amazon’s error?

I’m still confused about the management VLAN. From what I’ve read in various posts on the Netgear web site, the GS108E and GS116E switches MUST be managed with VLAN 1.

So maybe it’s not possible to manage it from my Port 4 PC if I want that port to be on the “Private” VLAN 10? Maybe I need to dedicate another port to VLAN 1 and only use it when switch management is necessary?

Or, maybe I should just make VLAN 1 my "Private" VLAN and keep VLAN 20 as the "Guest" VLAN?

Please help clear this up!!!
