NETGEAR Auto-IP Surveillance Camera and
Auto-WiFi VLANs on NETGEAR Switches
Introduction
Wireless technology and Surveillance IoT have essentially changed the way many administrators and network architects
are designing and managing converged networks. IP cameras and wireless access points have evolved from a simple
AC powered IP device to a PoE powered device that puts additional stresses on the bandwidth of the network, as well
as adds signicantly more complexity to ensuring QoS (Quality of Service) and prioritization of trafc type is upheld.
Additionally, new WiFi 6 access points and high-resolution 4K and 8K cameras signicantly increase the demand for
bandwidth from the network and PoE power required from the sourcing PSE switch. In response to the high demands of
bandwidth and optimized trafc segregation, NETGEAR has developed a new, automated approach to conguring IP
cameras and wireless access points with the new Auto-Camera VLAN and Auto-WiFi VLAN features on our new multi-
gigabit switches, the MS510TXM and MS510TXUP.
The NETGEAR Auto-Camera VLAN and Auto-WiFi VLAN feature provides a classication for digital camera and wireless
access point packets and automatically places them into a camera or WiFi VLAN, so they can then be prioritized above
other packets, allowing the switch to provide better QoS for those devices. Additionally, the Auto-Camera VLAN
automatically enables multicast for those devices, as required by many IP camera systems, to ensure the packets are
properly handled throughout the network. With the Auto-Camera VLAN and Auto-WiFi VLAN feature, automatic VLAN
placement is based on the organizationally unique identier (OUI) bits of a camera or wireless access points.
Key Terms
OUI
Device hardware manufacturers can include an organizationally unique identier (OUI) in a network adapter to
help identify a hardware device. The OUI is a unique 24-bit number assigned by the IEEE registration authority.
MAC address
Media Access Control address or MAC addresses - hardware addresses that uniquely identies each node of a
network. It is assigned by the vendor or manufacturer and saved to the device memory.
Auto-VLAN
Auto-VLAN feature automatically place matching devices (via OUI) into a pre-congured VLAN with QoS features.
Steps to congure the NETGEAR Auto-Camera VLAN and Auto-WiFi VLAN feature:
1. Obtain the OUI of the IP security camera. The OUI is the rst 6 hexadecimal digits or the 24-bit number
of a device MAC address that uniquely identies a vendor or manufacturer. The example below is a MAC
address from a NETGEAR device and OUI is 08:36:C9.
