STEP-3:

Select Enabled to open up VLAN function. To establish a VLAN, you should make sure they are of the same VID.

As the picture shows, both port1 and port2 are the member port of VLAN 35, it means that port1 and port2 can communicate with each other, port1 and port3 can’t communicate with each other. 

The filed tag means that the ports only received VLAN tagged packets whose VID is 35 and should transmit with VLAN tagged(VID is 35). 

5bd97c7c4e2f2.png

STEP-3:

If you want to set some ports for IPTV (eg:port4), you should configure port4 as bridge forwarding rule and obtain VID (eg:1500) from your ISP, also you can configure Tag ,Priority and CFI according to your need. And other LAN ports NAT with WAN, the packets from these LAN port should be untagged, and these packets go out to WAN port will tagged with VID=1.
