VLAN Setup question
Hardware version is 1. I plan to setup 4 VLAN's on each switch as follows 1 default netgear VLAN 260 will be the managment VLAN 360 will be the normal connected device VLAN - for computers ...

Then I should make them VLAN 360 right? not the default 1?
You define this. Can't provide a general rule. If somebody does plug a non-authorized device or an WLAN AP is reset to factory default (ie. by it's local reset button) - where do you want these? Probably not in a productive VLAN ID. Somehwere in a VLAN where you can securely check what is going mad for example I wuld suggest.

What for are the other ports used for?
The other ports will be use for computers or workstations and I am not sure how to set these ports.
Untagged for the VLAN you want the computer etc. connected to, same PVID.
Hi lambertsonm,
Welcome to the community!
How to config vlan,you can refter to this document.
If have any other questions,please let us know.
Thanks
Well, this article does not really answer my questions. If I have multiple VLAN's going over a single port, what VLAN PVID should I use 1 or something else or doesn't it matter. Secondly, on a VLAN Say ports 1-12 are for Wi-Fi VLAN 360 and Guest Wi-Fi VLAN 660 I know that I have to tag those ports, but what should I make the rest of the ports, blank, T, or U on each VLAN 1, 260, 360 and 660?

Yes, these are trunk ports, too. But here again, you have to configure the PVID to an ID so untagged packets - if it should happen - are tagged to.

This answer is getting me closer to what I need to know, thank you.
