Thank you for your excellent questions! Below are the answers I can provide to your questions. The DHCP server on the Bitdefender Box is not configurable. I don't see an option to disable the Box's DHCP server, so I doubt you could use a router's DHCP server. I've tested the Bitdefender Box...

Try connecting your PC to port 8 on the switch. You should then be able to set the PVID on ports 5-6 to 2 and the PVID on port 7 to 3.

Example 2 in this article (https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/lanwan-howto/32486-how-to-segment-a-small-lan-using-tagged-vlans) covers configuring 802.1q vlans with a non-vlan aware router.

Thank you for your questions Gragnous! Without going into the configuration elements of your question, here are some high level answers. Look for devices that support 802.1q VLANs. Many smart switches support 802.1q. (I use a Cisco SG200-26 smart switch in my lab.) Configure VLAN trunks on...

Thanks for your comment. Router manufacturers typically use a UDP based test to rate throughput on their devices. The TotuSoft test uses TCP. UDP has a lower overhead than TCP, so manufacture VPN ratings are typically higher than my measurements.

Thanks for the question! Syslog is supported. If you look at the bottom of the Log Settings screen shot in the review, you'll see the options for syslog.

Thank you for your comment! My observation in the review is intended to convey the following. There are power and channel options in UniFi. With UniFi, you apply those options to each AP individually. Edimax has the ability to tune managed AP's power settings as a whole, as well as to each AP...

Thanks for the question! You mention "The confusing part is a particular port having membership in more than one VLAN... The unique tagging of a port implies that shouldn't be possible." I agree, it can be confusing. VLAN configuration in switches can vary. Some switches allow a port to be a...

Great discussion! The LGS552P does not have a menu option for port based VLANs. Each port can be an Access port limited to being an untagged member of a single VLAN, or a Trunk port where it can be an untagged member of a single VLAN and a tagged member of multiple VLANs. My conclusion is...

See my article here - http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/lanwan-howto/32486-how-to-segment-a-small-lan-using-tagged-vlans Example 2 should meet your requirements. You need to use three VLANs. In my example, I use a Netgear GS108T, but the configs are pretty similar to the GS724T.

Your configs on the switches in the diagram seem fine. Port 24 on your back bone switch appears to be correct. You'll need to setup a trunk and VLANs on the router, which enables inter-VLAN routing, for devices on VLANs 4-6 to get to the Internet. My Part 2 article goes through the steps.

1. Correct 2. Correct 3. Correct - does your router support VLANs? See below. 4. If VLAN1 is the default VLAN and you're using it, then set the trunk PVID=1. 5. If you left the management VLAN at default, the switch IP should be on the subnet assigned to VLAN1. If your router...

Make the trunk ports Untagged ="U" members of VLAN1 and make them Tagged = "T" members of all the other VLANs. That should do it.

Cino - You wrote "TWC honors a /56." What specifically did you do to get the /56? Thanks in advance for your answer.

I'd stick with the defaults and use Admit All and Disable.
