GSM7224R small network

Hi all,

It is finally working !!

Finally I bought a (very cheap) Linksys router in E-Bay, just to be able to create some static routes ahead from the switch, in this test location.



Following the document on the link above, I have created four VLANs in the Netgear GSM7224R switch;



Then I have activated and created DHCP Pools for VLANs 2 & 3.
I think VLAN1 does not need to activate DHCP, same for VLAN4 the one facing the router.

Next step is the "DefaultRoute" IP facing the router;



That´s all at the switch side.
Then, the router side.
A important tip is to set the router IP and VLAN facinf router´s IP accordingly.
I did;

192.168.15.1 switch
192.168.15.254 router



And teh last step is to create the neccesary static route at te router side;



With this configuration I can create as many VLANs as I need, and allow all of them to reach the router and internet.

What I have noticed is that connected to any VLAN, I can always access the switch web admin using the subnet IP ending in 1, for example;

192.168.10.1
192.168.20.1
etc...

This router has only static routes, but it is not VLAN capable. Not sure what will happen with a VLAN capable router.

Anyway, I hope my experiment will help anyone in the future with same knowledge lack as me.

Thank you.

Regards, Maximo.
