Apple Airport Extreme VLAN
I'm trying to setup a guest network on my Airport Extreme. Apple automatically makes this VLAN with ID 1003.
The Airport Extreme is plugged into port 2 of my Netgear Swtich. Port 1 plugs into the router (Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite).
Everything works fine if I bypass the switch and plug the AE directly into the router, so the problem is in the swtich.
Logging into the switch, I went to Switching ->VLAN -> VLAN Configuration and created the vlan with id 1003.
I went to the Advanced menu item on that same page, went to VLAN Membership, selected 1003 for vlan id, clicked on Port, and then clicked so that there is now a T on port 2. All other ports are empty.
I would think what I did would have allowed vlan packets tagged 1003 to go through the switch to my router. But I'm obviously wrong.
What else do I need to do?
Hi BoboBear,
Welcome to Netgear community
Are you connecting you device as this?
If right ,I think at least we need to add port 1 to vlan 1003 too.
Just config port 1 as you do for port 2 .

Thank you. It works. I somehow thought port 1 was a trunk port by default and that's why my router was plugged into port 1 of the switch.
I'm going to spend some time poking around the Netgear KB today.
