How to prevent packets from being seen from devices which belong to other VLANs?
Hello. I configured my GS516TP switch to use VLANs. There are currently three VLANs: VLAN 10, 11, and 12, with three devices, 10.0.10.5, 10.0.11.5, and 10.0.12.5 connecting respectively through port...

This is very much the configuration I have right now: no memberships on any port for VLAN 1, the three PVIDs are also set correctly for the three ports.
While searching for the solution, I found https://community.netgear.com/t5/Smart-Plus-and-Smart-Pro-Managed/GS308E-Smart-Managed-Plus-VLAN/td-p/1908262, which describes the exact same problem, and the answer seems to indicate that the asymmetric VLANs are not supported by GS308E (nor does GS108E, according to https://community.netgear.com/t5/Smart-Plus-and-Smart-Pro-Managed/GS108Ev3-Multi-Port-Based-VLAN-technical-details/td-p/1786173). How do I know if they are supported by GS516TP?
