MS510TXM need some general assistance with Routing config
Hello everyone!
I'm running a MS510TXM with fw 1.0.5.10.
I'm trying to get VLAN routing working and I'm having trouble. From all subnets/VLANS (tagged & untagged) I can see the gateway address on he other side of the router, but not the devices on the subnet. From a Tagged vlan I can send a ping to the untagged Management VLAN 1. Using Wireshark, I can see the icmp packet on the VLAN 1 device and its reply packet, but the reply never makes it to the original VLAN.
I thought that maybe the downlink from my home router to my lab environment was causing the issue so tonight I tried connecting with 2 static IP'd laptops, one on the tagged VLAN and one on the management side with the internet router disconnected and got the same results. I'm just trying basic connectivity at this point. No DHCP helpers, etc.
I'll post the route table and VLAN interface ips below. Please let me know what else you'd like to see. It's been a while since I've dealt with this kind of networking and I know it's probably something simple I'm overlooking.
192.168.1.6 is the address of the switch (also gw from 192.168.1.0 to the Tagged VLANS) and 192.168.1.1 is the Internet router for the default route for outbound traffic.
I've included the PVID table as well - just in case my issue is here. I haven't done anything with this config yet.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello Steve,
The PVID does define the VLAN untagged frame entering the switch resp. the switch ports are associated to.
I've requested a moderator moving this thread to the Plus And Smart Switches Forum to discuss Smart Switches (T) and Plus Switches (E), including Local and Remote Management, simply because this isn't a Managed Switch model.
This leads to the question on how these IP subnets are supposed to be associated with VLANs - where you expect the routing to become active. A little bit lost on how you are testing with these two computers, as (for simplicity) none of these is connected to an access port. I would suggest to configure two test ports, port set [U]ntagged and associated to the VLANs (and subnet) you intend to test routing, with the PVID set to the same VLAN ID, but not associated to any other VLAN) associated with the other VLANs. 8-/
I see you have a series of ports still untagged on 1, but tagged member of multiple VLANs. Are you testing from machines, e.g. hosting VMs, able to handle multiple subnets and VLANs?
Greeting from rainy Switzerland!

Hi Kurt!!
If you're an acapella music fan you probably know about The Real Group. They're from Switzerland too. Phenomenal! I saw them in the late 90's and was blown away!
Back to my issue. the VLANs are associated with my home lab and the ingress/egress point is from the 192.168.1.0 subnet. Most of my devices outside of my vms (NAS, vcenter & esxi mgt, etc) are on the 192.168.1.0 subnet, but I'm wanting to move them into specific VLANs based on function (management, data plane, etc.) and have them communicate with each other in the tagged environment as well as able to get to the Internet if I need them to.
I want the Lab routing to be handled by the smart switch. As you can see, most of them are in the 10.32.0.0 supernet and I have the internet router set with a static route pointing 10.32.0.0 to the management address of the switch (192.168.1.6.) on the switch side the route to 192.168.1.0 is pointed to 192.168.1.6 while the default route points to 192.168.1.1, the address of the Internet Asus wireless router.
I didn't see an option for setting a port to be access in the switch config. on the Tagged laptop, I set the VLAN ID on the ethernet adapter and was able to see other devices on that VLAN. for the 192.168.1.0 device, I just set a static address in that subnet with the gateway pointing to the switch.
Hope this helps!

That would be Sweden ... Switzerland is slightly smaller my friend 8-)

Normal computers like workstations, PCs, ... are always operating on untagged, connected to an access port (VLAN Membership ID [U]ntaggd, PVID set to the same. This is regardless of the VLAN - this is why I started talking about that all your switch port re untagged and PVID 1, and some allow so tagged connections.
