gs308e vlan setup
Hello All,
I'm having a hard time setting up my gs308e. I have a lighting console that requires 2 networks so I purchased this switch hoping I make half the ports one network and the other half the second network. I am running it static IP with vlans 1,10,20 port 1234 assigned (untagged) to vlan10 and 5678 assigned (untagged) to vlan 20 via the 802.1q advanced tab. I can access ports 5678 fine but I can't seem to communicate through ports 1234. When I try to connect with my laptop it seems to force my ip address into a different range entirely. I'm at a loss here.

- Define two networks if you need two.
No idea where or how the idea developed that such ports are involved. Each VLAN is an independent network, able to deal with individual IPv4 subnets including all possible ports involved.
No idea where (and for what purpose) have configured such ports in this context - considering there are no controls for ports anywhere in the range mentioned.
Switches like these Plus models have no inter VLAN IPc4 subnet routing available. The two ports mentioned are in the same IPv4 sunset? Keep in mind there is nothing like NAT port forwarding or the like on such switches. Said that, you need to be much clearer about intentions or plans of what you want to achieve.
Technically, you can configure eg. two IP subnets on each VLAN, and use IPv4 to communicate on each if these networks and subnets.
