How can I change the DMZ VLAN-ID from 4094 to any other, lower ID (e.g. 4093)
My router is on frrmware version 4.3.4-1 and I recently reactivated the DMZ. Next to the router I have a Netgear GS108PEv3-Switch (firmware 2.00.08) and in the following several Netgear GS108T (firmw...
Hi Worli,
I believe it is by design that VLAN ID 4094 is reserved for the DMZ interface and it cannot be changed.

Hi DaneA,
thank you for your fast reply and sorry for my late reply ... had to go for an unplanned business trip....
Sadly this is not a good news with the hardcoded 4094 on the router. I wanted to use the dedicated WAN-DMZ security features of the router which can be conifgured independently from the other LAN ports. And this in separate VLANs.
Since I am not a VLAN-specialist: Is it secure alternative to simply patch the activated DMZ to another port on the first switch with subnet 176.16..... (in parallel to the standard LAN 192.168... patched on another port on the first switch) and to configure the web-server with a 176.16-DMZ-address? So I have two LANs running on the same physical switches. How is it really from security perspective - compared to a VLAN which segments the network? Any risks which shoudl be considered? (Hopefully I described this comprehensively as "dangerous half-knowing IT guy", as I see myself. :smileyfrustrated: )
Hi Worli,
As I understand your concern, you still want to use the DMZ as part of the VLAN configured on the switches, am I correct? If ever I am correct, you may enable DMZ on the firewall and use it as part of VLAN 4094. Be reminded that enabling DMZ exposes the DMZ LAN to the internet.
