GS516TP VLAN HELP!!!!
Hello everyone, First, all my networking knowledge has been learned through trial and error and the internet. With that said, I have taken on quite a tasking and am at the end of the road if I c...
Pretty sure I fixed it Yaaaaaaa,!!
i created vlan10 and bridged it with the LAN ports on the RT-AC66Us. Apparently the management vlan1 on the Netgear switch was causing me problems. I couldn't tag vlan1 for the ports I needed on the switch. Once I moved everything to another vlan, went smooth as silk.
That is in fact the case. Some new information:
Ok, I had a epiphany this morning. Here is where I am. When both the routers are connected to the switch through any port other than port 2, all is well with the main network, but my guest access (vlan14 and vlan15) can't get an IP address. Makes sense because vlan14 and vlan15 are setup on port 2 of the routers. As soon as I connect the routers to the switch through port 2, all goes haywire with the main network (192.168.1.100) but the guest vlans are able to pull IPs, but no internet.
I made a couple assumptions. 1) somehow wl0 and wl1 are bridged internally to vlan1? 2) vlan1 is basically the internet and/or the ethernet ports on the back of the router? br0 is basically vlan1 and eth1 and eth2. Not sure I fully understand this.
Anyway, looking through my switch settings, under routing/vlan/vlan routing, vlan1 shows routed to 192.168.1.3 or basically itself. vlan1 is the management vlan for the switch. So a couple more assumptions, 1) vlan1 on the switch has no bridge to the internet? would make sense to leave this "channel" open strictly for management of the switch. 2) my main network (vlan1, eth1, eth2, and basically anything outside of vlan14 and vlan15, are being routed to 192.168.1.3 for an IP?
Not going to get an IP at the switch....
Does any of this make sense? If so, I need to either 1) change the br0, vlan1, eth1, eth2 to something else or 2) change the vlan the switch uses for management? correct?
once again, any advice, greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
Hi pdobrien3
I aggre with DanaA 's suggestion. And there more things I want to known.
As you said "WORKS GREAT when the routers are connected to each othe" , in this condition， did you connect two ASUS AC-RT66U through port 2 ?
And what the configuration of the connected ports between two ASUS AC-RT66U ?

I am sorry if my reply to DanaA's post is not clear. My setup is in fact in compliance with DanaA's suggestions. Also, when the RT-AC66Us are connected directly, without the Netgear switch, they are both connected through port 2. Following is my port/vlan setup on the two RT-AC66Us. I would be happy to provide this for the GS516TP but don't know how.
nvram show | grep vlan.*ports
vlan1ports=1 2t 3 4 8*
vlan2ports=0 8u

Thanks for the update. I'm glad that creating VLAN 10 and moving everything to VLAN 10 make it work. :)
