Hi lerbis ,
Thank you for reaching out to the Community, may it serve other users this way!
Your 192.168.0.0/24 devices on VLAN 1 can send packets to your 172.16.0.1 router, but does your router know how to route to your VLAN 1 network in return? When it receives a packet for 192.168.1.0/24 IP addresses, it needs to know where to forward it. I believe you should have one static route on your router like this:
Destination IP Address: 192.168.1.0
IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP Address: 172.16.0.125 (this is the Layer 3 IP interface on the switch, your Port 50)
Metric: 2
Next thing to check is the DNS service for your 192.168.1.0/24 devices in VLAN 1, they certainly need 172.16.0.1 DNS Server in their DCHP configuration, or any other reachable DNS service of your choice.
I hope this helps, please let us know!
