Getting a Netgear Smart Switch to Accept multiple VLANS from a trunked router
I have a Cisco 2612 router connected to a Netgear GS724T Smart Switch. I want to to trunk the ethernet interface on the router for two VLANs so I can sparate one of the devices on the switch on to a different subnet.
I have tested my router config on a differnt switch with two sub interfaces and I am able to route to both subnets. However when I cannot figure out the corect configuration on the netgear. I double checked that it supports the trunking protocal (IEEE 802.1Q). I have tried every combination of "Tagged", "Untagged", and "Not a Member" I can think of and still it will not route.
- The router interface is already subdivided for VLAN 1 and VLAN 2
- The router is plugged into port 1 on the switch
- The server I want on VLAN 2 is plugged into port 17 on the switch
- I want all other switch ports on VLAN 1 (this is the default VLAN)
Has anyone used these switched before for this kind of thing?

I am not real familiar with Netgear managed switches, but if you could post the config somehow it would be helpful.

There is not readable config on a Netgear "Smart Swith". It can be exported only in a Netgear format which cannot be viewed or edited as text.

I finally got a decent response from Nethgear on this issue. they say that this switch will not support different subnets on a 802.1q trunked port. In other words the swit support trunking its own interfaces but will not support useful trinking from another device. I guess that is what iIget for trying to use a low end wannabe switch for a professional task.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I am glad you have found resolution to the issue.

Routers
A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
