GSM7328s VLAN connection with ReadyNAS 4200
Hi, I am having a bit of trouble trying to configure a ReadyNAS 4200 for iSCSI connections to VMware. I have a GSM7328s, an M5300 and a ReadyNAS 4200. I have configured a VLAN (20) on each Net...
Hi dean_wheatley,
Kindly answer the questions I have summarized below:
a. Did you reboot the NAS for the VLAN settings to take effect?
b. What is the current firmware version of the GSM7328s, M5300, and ReadyNAS 4200?
Can you post screenshots of the settings you have configured. I look forward to your response.

Hi DaneA
Yes, I rebooted the NAS so tha the VLAN settings took effect.
Firmware:
ReadyNAS 4.2.27
M5300 10.0.0.31
GSM7328s 10.0.0.44
I am also looking into the prospect of not using VLANS and physically separating the storage network from the rest of the LAN, this will avoid any VLAN overhead (from what I have been told)

Hi dean_wheatley,
It seems that your concern is similar to this forum thread I found online:
https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1198135-vmware-datastore-over-vlan
I also want to share this link below that I found online that might help:

Lol, interstingly enough the Spiceworks topic was one I started yesterday and is where I got my info re VLAN overhead from. Having said thatm there must be hundreds, if not thousands, of systems setup to use VLAN for this purpose so it's hard to know what's right or wrong.
The google sites post looks really good, so will have a run through that, it may giv me a better understanding.
