Hi,
we have several Linksys SRW switches in our infrastructure. In this case I have a port on a SRW 2048 wich I want to join into a VLAN I created on the switch. The client is not able to handle VLAN IDs. Also, I want the port to only comunicate with this special VLAN (ID 4).
Of course I read the documentation avalible (see below) and from my understanding I need to set the Port to Mode "General", Acceptable Frame Type "Admit All" and PVID to "4". At the "Ports to VLAN" tab I set the Port as untagged on VLAN 4. However, I wasn't able to set a port to comunicate with only one VLAN at a time without the client using a VLAN ID on its own and need some help here, thx for any input.

VLAN Port Setting
The VLAN Port Setting screen provides parameters for managing ports that are part of a VLAN. The port default VLAN ID (PVID) is configured on the VLAN Port Settings screen. All untagged packets arriving to the device are tagged by the ports PVID.
The VLAN Port Settings screen contains the following fields:
• Port — The port number included in the VLAN.
• Mode — Indicates the port mode. Possible values are:
– General — The port belongs to VLANs, and each VLAN is user-defined as tagged or untagged (full 802.1Q mode).
– Access — The port belongs to a single untagged VLAN. When a port is in Access mode, the packet types which are accepted on the port (packet type) cannot be designated. It is also not possible to enable/disable ingress filtering on an access port.
– Trunk — The port belongs to VLANs in which all ports are tagged (except for an optional single native VLAN).
• Acceptable Frame Type — Packet type accepted on the port. Possible values are:
– Admit Tag Only — Indicates that only tagged packets are accepted on the port.
– Admit All — Indicates that both tagged and untagged packets are accepted on the port.
• PVID — Assigns a VLAN ID to untagged packets. The possible values are 1 to 4094. VLAN 4095 is defined as per standard and industry practice as the discard VLAN. Packets classified to the Discard VLAN are dropped.
• Ingress Filtering — Enables or disables Ingress filtering on the port. Ingress filtering discards packets which do not include an ingress port.
• LAG — Indicates the LAG to which the VLAN is defined.

Ports to VLAN
The Ports to VLAN screen contains fields for configuring ports to a VLAN. The port default VLAN ID (PVID) is configured on the Create VLAN screen. All untagged packets arriving to the device are tagged by the ports PVID.
The Ports to VLAN screen contains a Port Table for VLAN parameters for each ports. Ports are assigned VLAN membership by selecting and configuring the presented configuration options. Ports can have the following configuration options:
• VLAN — Indicates the VLAN for which the port membership is configured.
Configuration options are as follows:
• Access — Indicates the port belongs to a single untagged VLAN. When a port is in Access mode, the packet types which are accepted on the port cannot be designated. Ingress filtering cannot be enabled/disabled on an access port.
• Trunk — Indicates the port belongs to VLANs in which all ports are tagged, except for one port that can be untagged.
• General — Indicates the port belongs to VLANs, and each VLAN is user-defined as tagged or untagged (full 802.1Q mode).
• Tagged — Defines the interface as a tagged member of a VLAN. All packets forwarded by the interface are tagged. The packets contain VLAN information.
• Untagged — Packets forwarded by the interface are untagged.
• Forbidden — Forbidden ports are not included the VLAN.
• Exclude — Excludes the interface from the VLAN. However, the interface can be added to the VLAN through GVRP.
