I have Verizon FiOS router and I am trying to set up 2 - 3 VLan's (maybe more) to responded to Tagged ports that will be passed by a Layer 3 Netgear Switch. I have set up the Netgear Layer 3 Switch for the VLan's (VLAN 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.) and have left VLAN1 the Default VLAN (Management VLAN).
I would like to set up Port 1 on the Verizon FiOS router to send out DHCP request to say VLAN2, then Port 2 on the Verizon FiOS router to send out DHCP request to say VLAN3, and so on and so forth. I can set the " ip helper address " to point to a static IP on that VLAN which would be of course the Verizon FiOS router because I would set up (assuming) a static IP to the port and within the configuration of the Netgear tell it to pass the DHCP request to that IP and set a pool of DHCP request within the Verizon FiOS router.
I know that the Verizon FiOS router supports multiple DHCP scopes under "Advanced --> IP Address Distribution" but still so confused and lost on setting up the VLANs on the FiOS router itself because I don't see where to remove the LAN ports from the default "Home / Office Network" bridge (Bridged with the WAN for WWW Traffic) and assigning the PVID's and VLANs.
So of course any help is appreciated or any manuals, references, etc would be appreciated as well. The only forum article I can find on experts-exchange.com is

But it's not for my router, the ActionTec was the original router FiOS has, now they roll out the Westell routers which is what I have. Thanks again

Just out of curiosity, why does the FiOS router have the ability to create VLANs, and what have you?
The Netgear switch does pass out DHCP and as goes for the "DHCP Server", yes I would do that in a business environment but this is at my home and the only reason I'm trying to split traffic is A. Because of LAN traffic and B. I have a Site to Site VPN with work and would like to keep the traffic separate (like it is now) from my home traffic.

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.
