I am not sure if this is the right area to post, however in the home networking they don't have a category that fits what I need.
I have bought a few netgear products recently to try and segregate my traffic. The problem is I know nothing except the basics about networking. For the last 3 weeks I have been trying to use sophisticated switches and such and it has become very confusing and frustrating. I recently came across a document that has actually opened my eyes a little bit and gave me some direction. So right now I am creating a test bed with a Netgear FVS336G (router/firewall), a GS108PEv3, and a Netgear JGS524Ev2 - 24-Port Gigabit switch. So far so good I guess. I have configured the FVS336G with 3 VLANs 1 - 3, I have the router configured properly and the GS108PEv3 (with the same VLANs) configured properly as well I connected PCs to the port in question and was able to get internet and 2 of 3 VLANs can't contact each other. This is intended so I am good so far however on VLAN 1 on the switch all 8 ports are assigned and untagged, now I have port 8 tagged and plugged in to port one of the router to carry all the VLANs communication to the router (Is this correct?). I have port 8 tagged in vlan 2 and vlan 3 I know this is the way it's supposed to be done. However in VLAN 1 Port 8 is untagged, is this the way it should be?
U = untagged
T = Tagged
B = Blank
Ports 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
VLAN 1 U U U U U U U U
VLAN 2 T U U B B B B B
VLAN 3 T B B U U B B B
The above is the way the document spelled it out as far as the VLANS the only thing I didn't get was is VLAN 1 configured correctly especially Port 1
I suggest you remove the ports in VLAN 1 that you don't want to belong to VLAN 1. Since port 8 is the uplink port, it should be set as a tagged port and a member of all VLANs with a PVID = 1.
It seems that your network setup is similar to the article below. Clink on the link below and use it as your guide.
