VLAN Configuration

Hi,

I have installed a new network in our office to start implementing VLANs. 

 

We have today 3 Switches (2x GS724T connected to VMware ESXi Hosts) and (1x GS748T connected to all Laptops and our firewall).

We are using Watchguard XTM 330 as a firewall that support VLAN.

 

If I use the default settings on does Switches, everything works fine and everyone can ping eachother and all ports using Untagged VLAN 1.

But as soon I start involving VLAN, then do we have some issues.

 

What I try to do is create a Untagged VLAN for all my laptops.

My Production VLAN are at the moment using VLAN 1 but want to change in the future to VLAN 99.

My Clients will I move to VLAN 97.

 

When I setup VLAN 97 in my Gateway I can ping it from VLAN 1. But as soon I setup VLAN 97 on my Switches on port 47 and Tagged VLAN 97 on port 48 I can't ping the gateway anymore when I connect my laptop to port 47. (I using Static IP GW: 10.0.97.1 Laptop: 10.0.97.2).

 

Any ideas how to continue? 

Fireware level: 6.3.1.11 on all switches. 

 

Thanks

Christian

 

 

  • Hi Issen,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    Based from the firmware version 6.3.1.11 you have mentioned, it seems that you have GS748Tv5 and GS724Tv4 switches.  Kindly answer the questions below:

     

    a. How is everything connected? Kindly post an image or screenshot of your detailed network setup.

    b. Is the port connecting the GS748T to the firewall set to tagged with a PVID=1 and member of all VLANs?

      Hi Dane,

      Thanks for the welcome.

       Yes the models is GS748Tv5 and GS724Tv4.

       

      I have try to attach a small visio picture as an overview. 

      But where Port 27 is my "Guest Network Port" are using Untagged VLAN 97 and on port 40, 49 and 50 I used Tagged.

      Also on port 27 have I used PVID 97 to really say it should be on that VLAN.

      Port 40 goes to my Watchguard XTM Firewall/Router where I also have VLAN 97 configured as Tagged VLAN.

      And to verify that VLAN doesn't work on the NetGear did I configured one interface on my GS724Tv4 with VLAN97 and static IP on both my laptop and the server. And I can't ping between them.

      I will look at your link tomorrow. 

      Thanks

        Hi Issen,

         

        Just kindly check the link and that might help. 

         

        Also, is VLAN routing configured on the GS748Tv5?  What I think is the ping reaches the gateway, have you tried to configure a default route?
