Help With VLAN Routing

Hello,

 

I think I need to set up a couple of VLANs and pass traffic between them from different IP address ranges. Sorry if I am not doing a good job of describing what I need. This is not an area I know much about. Basically I am on my own in a data center to figure out how to replace a FSM7328PS with a GS324T.

I have 2 different IP address ranges I need to pass traffic to each other: 192.168.1.### and 192.168.2.###.

I have 2 VLANs set up in the switch. The default VLAN and VLAN2. Each VLAN has all of the ports as members, and all of teh ports are untaged. What other steps do I need to take to get the 2 different IP ranges to talk to each other? 

I have a server that controls EPMS. It is on 192.168.1.53. I need it to be able to talk to devices on the 192.168.2.### range.

I think the FSM7328PS might have done this through routing?

I don't see anything in the GS324T that seems like the routing in the FSM7238PS. 

Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

  • Sorry, I tried to attach some pictures of how I configured the router, but I gues they won't upload.

      All fine, in-line images are under mandatory moderation and don't become visible before.

  • Do I have the proper model switch for what I am trying to do? Do I need another model number to route between VLANs? Thanks.

  • Resolved, after talking to tech support, the switch I am using doesn't support inter VLAN routing.

      Long before we could talk about inter-VLAN routing (leaving alone the intended S350 model does not support it) we need to talk about the intended "design". Consider each VLAN does make up an own (almost complete, independent) network, you can not wildly mix multiple VLANs configured as untagged ports for two and more VLANs.

       

      There are certain special configs for so-called asymmetric VLANs, this is however a pure L2 technology permitting to isolate certain clients, say to isolate some L2 devices from being accessible from others. No routing involved ... and not really supported by Netgear due to complexity involved..
