S3300-28X: Routing between two switches
Hi all, there are two buildings which are connected through a Wifi bridge. In building 1 is a LAN running on subnet 192.168.0.0/24, building 2 is running on subnet 192.168.1.0/24. Both buildings ...
- I found the solution.1st mistake: management VLAN and routed VLAN must not be the same. You can use VLAN id 1 for a routed VLAN, but you have to change your management VLAN.These are the steps to a working setup:1.If you want to use VLAN id 1 for your network clients, go to VLAN menu and create a management VLAN. Assign a port to this VLAN if you want.2.Go to routing menu and use the VLAN routing configuration to configure an IP address for your switch. According to my example, I used this setting on site 1:VLAN: 1IP address: 192.168.0.10Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0On site 2 the settings are nearly the same:VLAN: 1IP address: 192.168.1.10Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0You can reach the web interface of the switch via its address you have configured here.Now you should assign a static IP address to your management interface. I experienced some issues when the management address is assigned by DHCP because I use subnet 192.168.0.0/24 for the clients on site 1.3.Go to VLAN routing wizard and create a new routing VLAN, e.g. 199Site 1VLAN: 199IP: 192.168.199.10Subnet: 255.255.255.0Port: 20 (untagged)Site 2VLAN: 199IP: 192.168.199.11Subnet: 255.255.255.0Port: 20 (untagged)In my setup I connect these ports to the Wifi bridge.4.Go to routing table menu and add two new rulesSite 1route type: staticnetwork address: 192.168.1.0subnet mask: 255.255.255.0next hop address: 192.168.199.11route type: DefaultRoutenext hop address: 192.168.0.250Site 2route type: staticnetwork address: 192.168.0.0subnet mask: 255.255.255.0next hop address: 192.168.199.10route type: DefaultRoutenext hop address: 192.168.1.2505.Go to routing menu and enable routing mode.6.Change the default gateway of your network to the switch's address 192.168.0.10 or 192.168.1.10.
Same question.
I am not familiar with your devices. However, the networking principles are always the same no matter what devices or type of connections you use. If the WiFi devices you use to connect the two switches are VLAN-aware, you need to create both VLANs on both switches and set up the link ports as trunk. That will be a router-on-the-stick kind of connection. If those devices are not VLAN-aware, you need to create a so-called transition VLAN, set up the link ports as access and add proper static routes.
