Use VLANS for Traffic Segmentation

NETGEAR ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility
The Advanced 802.1Q VLAN Status page displays. In the VLAN Identifier Setting table,
the ports display next to the VLAN or VLANS to which they were added.
Specify a Port PVID for an 802.1Q-Based VLAN
A default port VLAN ID (PVID) is a VLAN ID tag that the switch assigns to data packets it
receives that are not already addressed (tagged) for a particular VLAN. If you connected a
computer on port 6 and you want it to be a part of VLAN 2, configure port 6 to automatically
add a PVID of 2 to all data received from the computer. This step ensures that the data from
the computer on port 6 can be seen only by other members of VLAN 2. You can assign only
one PVID to a port.
To assign a PVID to one or more ports:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is
off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch the ProSAFE Plus Utility using the desktop icon or tile.
The Switch Selection page displays a list of Web Managed (Plus) switches that it
discovers on the local network.
3. Select the switch.
If you do not see the switch, click the REFRESH button.
4. Click the APPLY button.
You are asked to enter the password for the switch.
5. Enter the switch’s password in the password field.
The switch’s default password is password.
The Switch Status page displays.
6. Select VLAN > 802.1Q > Advanced > PVID.
You can select Port PVID only if you already enabled the advanced 802.1Q VLAN option
(see Create 802.1Q-Based VLANs in an Advanced Configuration on page 30).
