Connected WAP and Router to managed switch with Port 8 assigned to VLAN 200. No internet for WiFi.
I have a GS108Ev3 - 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch that I purchased yesterday. My router is connected to port 1. My WiFi access point is connected to port 3. Prior to configurin...
I was able to figure out what was going on. The WiFi access point (WAP) is configured to use four VLANs: 100, 101, 200, & 300.
The WAP is connected to Port 3 on the managed switch. When the WAP tries to pass traffic from the WiFi clients to the router, it's trying to send packets with the VLAN IDs listed above -- but the managed switch didn't recognize those VLAN IDs.
I added those VLAN IDs to the managed switch's configuration and made port 3 a member of all those VLANs.
As of right now, it appears to be working fine. I'll keep an eye on it but for now, I consider this resolved.
Yes this is what happens internationally when associating the SSIDs with VLAN IDs, the traffic from and to these SSIDs will be tagged.accordingly.
Thanks. When I started this process, I thought that by connecting the WAP to port 3 on the managed switch, all traffic destined for the WAP would be routed through that port.
I was in the shower when I had an epiphany moment and wondered if adding those other VLANs to the switch's configuration then making port 3 a member of them would help. Tried it and it worked.
