Netgear FVS318N User Manual

When you create a VLAN profile, assign LAN ports to the VLAN, and enable the VLAN, the 
LAN ports that are members of the VLAN can send and receive both tagged and untagged 
packets. Untagged packets that enter these LAN ports are assigned to the default PVID 1; 
packets that leave these LAN ports with the same default PVID 1 are untagged. All other 
packets are tagged according to the VLAN ID that you assigned to the VLAN when you 
created the VLAN profile. 

This is a typical scenario for a configuration with an IP phone that has two Ethernet ports, one 
of which is connected to the wireless VPN firewall, the other one to another device:

Packets coming from the IP phone to the wireless VPN firewall LAN port are tagged. Packets 
passing through the IP phone from the connected device to the wireless VPN firewall LAN 
port are untagged. When you assign the wireless VPN firewall LAN port to a VLAN, packets 
entering and leaving the port are tagged with the VLAN ID. However, untagged packets 
entering the wireless VPN firewall LAN port are forwarded to the default VLAN with PVID 1; 
packets that leave the LAN port with the same default PVID 1 are untagged.

The configuration of the DHCP options for the default VLAN is 

explained in 

on page 26. For information about how to add and edit a 

VLAN profile, including its DHCP options, see 

on page 59.
