Vlan Example Configuration - NETGEAR S3600 Series User Manual

S3600 Series 8- or 16-Port 10G/Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch with 2 SFP+ Ports
• If the port through which the packet enters is not a member of the VLAN as specified
by the VLAN ID tag, the packet is dropped.
• If the port is a member of the VLAN specified by the packet's VLAN ID, the packet
can be sent to other ports with the same VLAN ID.
• Packets leaving the switch are either tagged (T) or untagged (U), depending on the
setting for that port's VLAN membership properties. A U for a port means that packets
leaving the switch from that port are untagged. A T for a port means that packets
leaving the switch from that port are tagged with the VLAN ID that is associated with
the port.
The example in this section comprises numerous steps to illustrate a wide range of
configurations to help provide an understanding of tagged VLANs.

VLAN example configuration

This example demonstrates several scenarios of VLAN use and describes how the switch
handles tagged and untagged traffic.
In this example, you do the following:
1. Create two new VLANs (VLAN ID 10 and VLAN ID 20).
2. Change the port membership for default VLAN 1.
3. Assign port members to the two new VLANs.
4. Change the PVIDs for certain ports in the new VLANs.
To configure the VLAN example:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network,
or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser and enter the IP address of the switch in the address field of
your web browser.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on-network
and connected to the Internet on page 25 or Access the switch off-network and not
connected to the Internet on page 32.
The Device Admin Password page displays.
If you did not yet activate your warranty, the Register to activate your warranty page
displays. For more information, see Register the switch on page 35.
3. Enter one of the following passwords:
• Enter your device admin password.
• If you previously managed the switch through the Insight Cloud Portal or Insight
app, enter the Insight network password for the last Insight network location.
