Creating a VLAN on a Netgear GS724T
Hi There,
I am wanting to create a VLAN on the Netgear GS724T.
Can someone giude me thru it step by step.
The reason for this is we are getting a CCTV system in here and the recording data uses a lot of bandwidth on the local land and thats the reason for the VLAN.
What will be on the VLAN is the PC which runs the software for the camera's and 8 IP camera's.
The PC that runs the software needs access to the internet.
Any help would be really awesome.

If the router only has one ethernet interface you need to do what is called a router on a stick configuration.
This sets up two virtual interfaces over the same physical interface via tagging, one for each subnet/VLAN.
You would have to match the VLAN and subnet information on the switch's VLANs as well and set the physical port to VLAN tagged for both VLANs
If the router has another port available then you can just connect one of the VLANs to one port and the other VLAN to the other port and forgo the tagging piece.

Never heard of the router, but if the ISP owns it, they should be able to configure it per your requirements.

Yup it has 4 ports available.
Would i just have to run a LAN Cable from one open ports on the router to one of the VLAN ports?
With no further configuring on the router?
How the router is setup now:
The router is on the same range/subnet as the existing LAN 192.168.4.1 and acts as dhcp.
Would the newly created VLAN not then get the same rang/subnet?

You'll need to check to confirm that those ports on the router can be configured as separate routed interfaces. Usually they are by default just extra layer 2 ports which are in the same VLAN as the current one.
When you create VLANs for isolation they need their own IP range and their own routed interface either physical or virtual.
You would have to either assign new addresses manually or create a new DHCP range for that VLAN.

After looking at the manual, I am not sure your router can meet your requirements.

I will have a look thru it and let you guys know tomorrow.
Thanks for all the replys

Why do you think the router would not be able to do whats required?

It doesn't look like it will support 802.1q tagging or routed ports. Do you see otherwise?

Sorry Guys made sure with our ISP and its a BIPAC 7402X.
That model does have a vlan option, but is doesn't say much about it. It looks like you can assign a port to both vlans and tag them both, but I don't see how you will be able to route to both vlan since you will need a routable interface for each vlan.
ASKER
Mmm thats a problem. Let me ask the ISP.

The router is owned by our ISP VOX Datapro it is a Billion Bipac 7800.
How would you configure the router?
