Trying to change Switch to get DHCP address on Vlan 10 or assign it a static on VLAN 10

 

 

Hello,

 

I'm not familiar with Netgear VLANs.   My default data network is on vlan 10.   My network has all the vlans controlled through the firewall (I do not want any routing through the switch between vlans).   The firewall passes out DHCP on VLAN 10 , 20 etc.   I have the switch plugged in to port 1 all vlans tagged, PVID 10.  

With the switch connected on port 1 configure with all vlans tagged, pvid vlan 10 the switch doesn’t get an IP but it does let attached workstations get a vlan 10 dhcp address and they can get to the internet.

 

With the switch connected on port 1 configure with all vlans tagged, pvid vlan 10 and VLAN 1 removed from the port the switch doesn’t get an IP but it does let attached workstations get a vlan 10 dhcp address and they can get to the internet.

 

With the switch connected on port 1 configured with vlan 10 untagged, pvid 10 – I get no ip on the switch but a vlan 1 dhcp address on the workstation.

 

I’ve tried changing the VLAN management VLAN but all I can do is change the down arrow – to vlan 10 – I can’t set the vlan management IP and changing it to 10 doesn’t let it get a dhcp on vlan 10 it still gets it on vlan 1

 

I do not normally delete the default VLAN but I don’t see how to assign an IP to each vlan on the switch either.   Typically I assign the firewall the first Ip in the subnet –e.g. 10.200.272.1 and the first switch or stack the .5 address.

 

The switch is on the current firmware.

 

The switch can get to the internet and the workstation connected to it can also get to the internet.

 

Let’s focus on the switch please (I have 30 other firewalls – same model connected to excite, cisco, avaya and alcatel switches with nearly identical vlans so please don’t get distracted by the firewall.   I’m not saying that there is a problem with the netgear design – just that I’m not familiar with it but I’m extremely familiar with firewalls so let’s net get distracted by the firewall part of the equation.   I’ve done something wrong on the switch – not the firewall so I could use help with the switch please as I’d like to learn netgear as well.

 

I see a place to add an IP to a port and if I do, technically I can ping it but I'm concerned about routing issues that may create as on other systems I assing IPs to a switch not a specific port.   So typically I can assign 10 vlans IPs on different segments to the switch.   As far as I can see I can only assign one IP to a port.

    Hi boe,

     

    Kindly post a .img or .png diagram of your detailed network setup as well as the screenshots of the setting you are trying to configure.
